## 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-x-twitter-user-lookup-7b25624e -d '<json body>'

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

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-request access to X/Twitter user profile data without managing your own Twitter API credentials or developer account. Ideal for one-off lookups, agent workflows that need social media enrichment, or applications that need follower/bio data without subscribing to a full social media API plan.

## Known failure modes

- User not found — invalid or suspended username returns an error
- Rate limiting from upstream X API causing failed or delayed responses
- Private/protected accounts may return limited data
- Ambiguous input (no @ prefix vs with prefix) may cause lookup failures
- API downtime on KiteEndpoints side or X platform side
