## 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 sitecheck-shop-social-x-twitter-post-lookup-7469f5c9
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up all the details for this X post — https://x.com/jack/status/20 — including the text, author info, like and reply counts, any photos or video, hashtags, and mentions?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need rich metadata for a single public X/Twitter post by URL or ID without requiring X's paid API access. It is ideal for archiving, fact-checking, media extraction, or enriching content pipelines. Prefer it over X's official API when cost is a concern or when you only need public embed-widget data. Not suitable for timeline fetching, search, retweet counts, or protected/deleted posts.

## Known failure modes

- Post deleted or protected — returns 404
- Invalid or malformed post URL/ID — returns error
- Retweet/view/bookmark counts unavailable — not in source data
- Timelines or search queries not supported — only single-post lookup
- Rate limits from underlying X syndication API may cause transient failures
- Private accounts always return 404 regardless of post existence

## How this service works

Pay-per-call e-commerce, product, price and social media data tools for AI agents, from public sources. Payment: x402, USDC on Base, Solana, Arc, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad, World Chain, Optimism, Avalanche, Celo or Stellar, or RLUSD/XRP on the XRP Ledger. No signup, no API key; a failed call is not charged.

## Output

A JSON object containing the post ID, URL, full text, detected language, like count, reply count, edit status, creation timestamp, reply-to reference, external links, hashtags, mentions, photos (URLs), video details (poster image, duration, MP4 variants), quoted post object, and author details (ID, name, screen name, avatar URL, blue-verified flag, label). Retweet, view, and bookmark counts are not available. Deleted or protected posts return a 404 error.
