## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability socialfetch-threads-profile-lookup-b01d392e
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the Threads profile for @zuck and show me their bio and follower count?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve public profile information for a specific Threads user by handle. Prefer this over generic social data APIs when Threads-specific profile data is the target, and over scraping solutions when a clean paid API with predictable output is needed.

## Known failure modes

- Handle not found or account does not exist — returns error or empty result
- Private or deactivated account — data may be unavailable
- Handle exceeds 64 characters or is empty — schema validation error
- Threads platform rate limiting or downtime — upstream failure
- Missing leading @ handled gracefully, but malformed handles may error

## How this service works

Get a Threads profile for a creator or account.

## Output

Returns public profile data for the specified Threads account, including details such as username, display name, bio, follower count, and other publicly available metadata associated with the handle.
