## 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-e9ab06ee -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the public profile info for the Twitter user @elonmusk — I want their bio, follower count, and whether they're verified?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-request access to Twitter/X public user profile data without managing a Twitter developer account or API keys. Ideal for agents doing one-off or low-volume user lookups, influencer research, or social enrichment tasks where setting up OAuth credentials is impractical.

## Known failure modes

- User not found — username or ID does not exist or has been suspended
- Rate limit exceeded on the underlying Twitter data source
- Invalid input — missing or malformed username/ID parameter
- Account is private — limited public data returned
- Twitter API upstream outage causing lookup failure
- Payment failure — insufficient USDC balance on Base chain
