# PayWeave Twitter – Follow Relationship Lookup

> PayWeave Twitter – Follow Relationship Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from twitter.payweave.services, paid per call via x402, $0.00177/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Checks whether two Twitter/X users follow each other by returning bidirectional follow relationship flags for a source and target handle pair.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 payweave-twitter-follow-relationship-lookup-2b9094c9
```

Example prompt: Check if the Twitter user 'openai' follows 'sama' and whether 'sama' follows them back — give me the bidirectional follow relationship.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call check of the directional follow relationship between exactly two Twitter/X users without requiring full OAuth user auth or a Twitter developer account. It's ideal for agents doing social graph enrichment, audience verification, or pre-campaign targeting checks at low cost ($0.00177/call).

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent handle returns an error or empty data object
- Missing required 'source' or 'target' fields causes a validation error
- Rate limiting or upstream twitterapi.io outage results in a failed response
- Handle provided with '@' prefix may cause lookup failure (handles must be without '@')
- Private/suspended accounts may return incomplete or null relationship data

## How this service works

X/Twitter data — tweets, users, communities, lists, articles, and trends.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with two boolean fields: 'following' (true if the source handle follows the target) and 'followed_by' (true if the target follows the source back), forwarded verbatim from twitterapi.io, along with a status string.
