## 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-e0f4672b -d '<json body>'
```

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

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-use access to Twitter user profile data without managing your own Twitter API credentials or developer account. It is well-suited for agents that only occasionally need Twitter lookups and want to pay per request in USDC rather than maintain a subscription. Prefer this over direct Twitter API calls when you lack API keys or want a simplified integration.

## Known failure modes

- User not found — account may be suspended, deactivated, or username may be misspelled
- Rate limit exceeded on the underlying Twitter API — returns error after too many requests
- Invalid input format — missing or malformed username/user ID in request body
- Payment failure — insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment not accepted
- Service downtime — KiteEndpoints.ai aggregator or Twitter API temporarily unavailable
