## 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 kiteendpoints-ai-twitter-cheap-api-6d9c0d3e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest tweets and follower count for the Twitter account @elonmusk using the cheap Twitter endpoint?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, pay-per-use Twitter data access without committing to a full Twitter API subscription. Ideal for agents that need occasional Twitter lookups at low cost ($0.10/call in USDC) without managing OAuth credentials. Best for simple tweet or profile fetches rather than high-volume streaming use cases.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or suspended Twitter username returns empty or error result
- Rate limiting or Twitter API downtime may cause failed lookups
- Insufficient USDC balance triggers payment failure before request is processed
- Malformed request body may return generic error with no detail
- Private or protected accounts may return no tweet data
