## 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 simple-x-api-get-tweet-by-id-3c31978f
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the tweet with ID 2022126476343357488 from X and tell me what it says, who posted it, and when?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve a specific tweet by its numeric ID and want to pay per-call via x402 USDC micropayments without managing your own X API credentials. Prefer this over direct X API access when you lack OAuth tokens or want a simple pay-per-use model.

## Known failure modes

- Tweet not found (deleted or never existed) — 404 response
- Payment authorization failure — x402 payment up to $10.00 required
- Tweet ID malformed or invalid — bad request error
- X API rate limit exceeded on the underlying proxy
- Tweet from a private/protected account — unauthorized response
- x402 settlement failure if X's per-resource price cannot be determined

## How this service works

Proxy the corresponding X API v2 endpoint. x402 authorizes up to $10.00; successful responses settle at X's public non-owned per-resource/per-action price.

## Output

Returns the tweet object from X API v2 for the specified tweet ID, including tweet text, author ID, creation timestamp, and other available metadata fields per X's v2 tweet response structure.
