## 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-profile-about-endpoint-cd9a03ff
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the profile about info for the X/Twitter account 'elonmusk' — I want to see their bio and account metadata?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to fetch public profile 'about' data for a specific X/Twitter username without setting up API keys, especially in agentic workflows where pay-per-call micropayments (USDC on Base or Solana) are preferable to subscription API access. Ideal for one-off or low-frequency lookups of Twitter user metadata.

## Known failure modes

- Username not found — returns error code with empty data
- Invalid or missing name parameter — malformed request
- Payment failure via x402 — micropayment not processed, request blocked
- Rate limiting or upstream X/Twitter API unavailability — service temporarily unavailable
- Private or suspended account — no public data accessible
