## 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-search-api-5a0d2eee
```

Example prompt: Search X/Twitter for recent tweets about 'open source AI models' and show me what people are saying — use ReadX so I don't need a Twitter API key.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to search X/Twitter for tweets by keyword, hashtag, or topic without managing X API keys or OAuth credentials. Ideal for agents that need to pay per call with USDC micropayments via x402 protocol on Base or Solana, avoiding subscription costs. Best for ad-hoc social media intelligence, brand monitoring queries, or retrieving public tweet data programmatically.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC — returns HTTP 402 requiring x402 micropayment
- Invalid or missing search query parameter — returns error code in JSON
- Rate limits or upstream X/Twitter API restrictions causing empty or partial results
- Query returns no matching tweets — data object may be empty
- Network timeout if X/Twitter backend is slow to respond

## How this service works

ReadX is a read-only X/Twitter JSON API. Profiles, timelines, tweets, search, lists, followers & following — pay per call with x402 micropayments in USDC on Base or Solana. No API keys.

## Output

A JSON object with a code field (0 for success) and a data object containing tweet search results matching the query, including tweet content and associated metadata.
