## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability payweave-twitter-user-profile-lookup-bc113feb
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the public Twitter profile for the user 'naval' — I want their bio, follower count, and display name?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, pay-per-call access to Twitter/X user profile data without managing OAuth credentials or Twitter API subscriptions. It is ideal for one-off lookups, low-volume enrichment workflows, or agent pipelines that need to resolve a Twitter handle to profile metadata (bio, follower count, display name) on demand. Prefer it over official Twitter API integrations when you want micropayment-based billing (USDC per call) and no upfront API key setup.

## Known failure modes

- Username not found – returns an error if the handle does not exist or has been suspended
- Empty or missing username field – request fails validation since username is required and must be non-empty
- Rate limiting or upstream errors from twitterapi.io – may return 5xx or provider-specific error codes
- Private accounts may return limited or no profile data
- Typos in username yield no results or wrong profile data

## How this service works

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

## Output

A user-profile JSON object forwarded verbatim from twitterapi.io, typically containing fields such as username, display name, bio/description, follower count, following count, profile image URL, verified status, account creation date, and other public metadata available on the X/Twitter platform.
