## 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 readx-account-about-x-twitter-account-info-lookup-a7a130cb
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the account info for the X user 'elonmusk' — I want to know their join date, location, whether they're verified, and if they've ever changed their username?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need lightweight, non-timeline account metadata for an X/Twitter user — specifically join date, location, verification badge, and username history — without needing tweets, followers, or timeline content. Ideal for account due-diligence, identity enrichment, or verifying account age and authenticity.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-alphanumeric username returns a validation error
- Handle not found on X returns a 404 or empty result
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting or upstream X API errors may cause intermittent failures

## How this service works

Account info: join date, base location, verification, username changes. Example: GET /api/jack/about

## Output

Returns structured JSON with the X account's join date, declared base location, verification status, and history of username changes for the requested handle.
