## 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 orthogonal-twitter-search-e7d8d9ae -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Twitter for recent tweets about 'OpenAI GPT-5' and show me what people are saying — use standard Twitter search operators if needed to filter to the most relevant results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to search Twitter/X for tweets matching specific keywords, hashtags, or Twitter search operators, especially within an x402 micropayment-enabled agent workflow. The built-in pagination billing model (free continuation pages using parentRequestId) makes it cost-efficient for deep multi-page searches. Prefer this over general web-scraping alternatives when you specifically need structured tweet data with Twitter's native search capabilities.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed search query returns an error
- Expired or invalid pagination cursor causes a failed continuation
- Changing filter parameters mid-pagination starts a new billable request
- Rate limits on underlying Twitter API may result in empty or truncated results
- Network or payment authorization failure returns a 402 or 5xx error
- No tweets found for niche or very specific query returns empty result set

## How this service works

Search tweets by query string. Supports Twitter search operators. Pagination billing: call the first page normally and save billing.requestId from the Orthogonal /v1/run response. For later page, offset, or cursor calls on the same logical search, pass parentRequestId with unchanged non-pagination parameters. Valid continuation calls still get their own request IDs and quoted price, but are charged 0. Changing filters starts a new billable request.

## Output

Returns a list of tweets matching the search query, including tweet text, author metadata, timestamps, engagement metrics, and a pagination cursor for fetching subsequent pages. The Orthogonal billing response also includes a requestId to use as parentRequestId for free pagination continuation calls.
