> glim.sh Twitter Users Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from surf.cascade.fyi, paid per call via x402, $0.004/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability glim-sh-twitter-users-lookup-9195197d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the Twitter user @cascade_fyi and tell me their user ID and any other profile info available?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to resolve Twitter/X usernames to user IDs (or vice versa) without setting up Twitter API credentials. Ideal for enriching social data pipelines, verifying account existence, or bootstrapping Twitter-based workflows using pay-per-call microtransactions instead of managing OAuth tokens.

## Known failure modes

- Username not found — empty data array returned
- Invalid username format causes request error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response and no data
- Rate limiting or downstream Twitter API errors may return 5xx
- Suspended or deactivated accounts may return no results

## How this service works

One remote endpoint gives your agent live data from Twitter, Reddit, the open web, GitHub and more. No API keys, no scraping stack - just connect the URL and go.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a data array of matched Twitter user objects (each containing id and username) and a meta object with result_count indicating how many users were found.
