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-twitter-timeline-api-ad3fa81d
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the recent timeline for the X/Twitter account 'elonmusk' — I want their tweets, retweets, and quote tweets?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically access a specific Twitter/X user's public timeline including tweets, retweets, and quote tweets without managing Twitter API credentials. Ideal for agents that need to monitor or analyze what a particular account is posting, especially when pay-per-call pricing ($0.03 USDC) is preferable to a subscription. Prefer this over scraping or building Twitter integrations from scratch.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent X handle returns an error response
- Handle with special characters fails schema validation (only alphanumeric and underscore allowed)
- Invalid pagination cursor causes request to fail or return empty results
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) results in 402 response before data is returned
- Rate limiting or upstream X API outage causes service unavailability

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a paginated JSON list of the user's tweets, retweets, and quote tweets, including a pagination cursor (bottom) to fetch subsequent pages. The response contains structured tweet objects with content, metadata, and engagement data.
