## 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-user-lookup-api47-7108a849 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the Twitter profile for @elonmusk and tell me his follower count, bio, and when the account was created?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-request Twitter/X user profile lookups without committing to a monthly API subscription. Ideal for agents that occasionally need social profile enrichment, influencer vetting, or CRM enrichment with Twitter data. Prefer this over direct Twitter API access when you want USDC micropayment billing and no OAuth setup overhead.

## Known failure modes

- User not found — invalid or suspended Twitter handle returns an error or empty result
- Rate limiting from the underlying Twitter API provider may cause failures during high-volume usage
- Payment failure if insufficient USDC balance on Base chain returns a 402 error
- Stale or scraped data if the underlying provider caches profiles
- Private/protected accounts may return limited or no profile data
