# ReadX Timeline API

> ReadX Timeline API is a paid API for AI agents from readx.sh, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Fetches a user's X/Twitter timeline including tweets, retweets, and quotes by handle

## 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 readx-timeline-api-225f022f
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the recent timeline for the X account 'jack' — I want to see their tweets, retweets, and quotes?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically read a specific X/Twitter user's public timeline including tweets, retweets, and quotes without authenticating as a Twitter user. Ideal for agents monitoring public figures, researchers aggregating social content, or workflows that need structured tweet data paid per-call with USDC via x402 protocol.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or nonexistent X handle returns an error or empty result
- Handle contains invalid characters (must be alphanumeric and underscore, no @)
- Private or suspended accounts may return no data
- Expired or invalid pagination cursor results in an error or reset
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 or 429 response

## How this service works

A user's timeline: tweets, retweets and quotes. Example: GET /api/jack

## Output

A JSON object containing the user's timeline with tweets, retweets, and quotes, along with pagination cursors (bottom) to fetch additional pages of results.
