## 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-tweet-status-history-8eb0862c
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the full edit history for @elonmusk's tweet with ID 1234567890123456789 — I want to see all the versions of that tweet since it was first posted.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve the edit/version history of a specific tweet and know both the Twitter username and tweet ID. Prefer this over general tweet lookup endpoints when the goal is specifically to track changes or edits to a tweet over time. Best suited for fact-checking, journalism, or research workflows where tweet mutation matters. Requires no X/Twitter API key — only a one-time $0.05 USDC micropayment via x402.

## Known failure modes

- Tweet ID not found — returns error code with empty data
- Username not found or incorrect — lookup fails
- Tweet has no edit history (was not edited) — returns single version or empty history
- Payment failure via x402 — request blocked without valid USDC micropayment
- Rate limiting or upstream X/Twitter API unavailability — returns error response
- Invalid username or ID format in URL path — malformed request error
