## 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-bb0f25a8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the Twitter profile info for the user @elonmusk — I want their bio, follower count, and account details?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need public Twitter/X user profile metadata — such as bios, follower counts, or account details — without building a direct Twitter API integration. It is ideal for agents doing social media research, influencer vetting, or identity enrichment tasks where per-request pay-as-you-go pricing via USDC is preferred over maintaining OAuth credentials.

## Known failure modes

- User not found — returns empty or error result if the handle/ID doesn't exist
- Rate limiting from upstream Twitter API — may return an error or stale data
- Invalid input format — if username or ID is malformed the endpoint may return an error
- Payment failure — USDC payment on Base chain not confirmed, request rejected
- Suspended or deactivated accounts may return limited or no data

## How this service works

## Output
