## 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 scrape-creators-threads-user-search-d1a13d8a
```

Example prompt: Search Threads for users matching 'fitness coach' and show me the top results including their usernames, follower counts, and bios.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover or look up Threads (Meta) user accounts by name, keyword, or topic — particularly for influencer research, creator discovery, or finding specific people on Threads. Prefer this over Instagram or TikTok search endpoints when the target platform is specifically Threads.

## Known failure modes

- No users found for the given query (empty results array)
- Invalid or missing query parameter returns 400 error
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded returns 429 error
- Threads platform blocking or scraping restriction causes 503 or timeout
- Network timeout if Threads is slow to respond
