## 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-x-twitter-following-list-api-cc06174c
```

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic, no-API-key access to a Twitter/X user's following list and are willing to pay $0.05 USDC per call via x402 micropayments on Base or Solana. Ideal for agents that need social graph data without managing Twitter developer credentials.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent username returns an error code in the JSON response
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the request via x402 protocol
- Rate limiting or upstream X/Twitter API restrictions may cause temporary unavailability
- Private or suspended accounts may return empty or restricted data
- Malformed username path parameter results in a failed lookup
