## 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-followers-list-a5e7646a
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the followers list for the X account 'elonmusk' using ReadX — start from the beginning and grab the first page of results?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic, paginated access to the follower list of any public X (Twitter) account without managing Twitter API credentials. Prefer it over direct Twitter API access when you want a simple pay-per-call model via USDC and need JSON follower data for social graph analysis, audience research, or influencer evaluation.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent X handle returns an error or empty result
- Expired or invalid pagination cursor causes an error or resets pagination
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 or 429 error
- Private or suspended accounts may return no followers or an access error
- Malformed handle (e.g. includes @ symbol or special characters) fails schema validation

## How this service works

A user's followers (~200 per page; paginate with cursor until has_more is false). Example: GET /api/jack/followers

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a list of approximately 200 follower profiles for the specified X user, along with pagination metadata including a bottom cursor and a has_more boolean to indicate whether additional pages exist.
