## 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-user-profile-info-556e3df5
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the Twitter profile info for elonmusk — I want to see their bio, follower count, and whether they're verified?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured profile metadata (bio, follower counts, verification) for a specific known X/Twitter username. Prefer this over a search endpoint when you already have the exact handle and want authoritative profile data in a single fast call. Ideal for enrichment pipelines, influencer research, journalist verification, or social graph analysis workflows that require per-user profile facts.

## Known failure modes

- Handle not found — returns 404 or empty result if the username does not exist or has been suspended
- Invalid handle format — returns validation error if handle contains disallowed characters or is empty
- Rate limiting or payment failure — call may be rejected if USDC payment is not processed correctly via x402
- Private/suspended accounts may return no data or partial data
- Handle changes — if the user has changed their username, the old handle will return no results

## How this service works

A user's profile info: id, name, bio, location, follower/following counts, verification. Example: GET /api/jack/info

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the user's numeric id, display name, bio/description text, location string, follower count, following count, tweet count, and verification status for the requested X handle.
