## 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 socialfetch-tweet-lookup-1ad4fd4d
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the tweet from this link for me — https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1234567890 — and show me what it says along with the author info?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured data for a single, specific tweet identified by its permalink URL — ideal for monitoring, archiving, fact-checking, or enriching tweet links shared by users. Prefer this over scraping when you need reliable, structured JSON output without browser automation.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed tweet URL returns a 400 error
- Tweet has been deleted or made private returns a 404 or access-denied error
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 or 429 error
- Twitter/X platform outage causes upstream timeout or 503
- URL pointing to a non-tweet page (e.g. a profile) causes unexpected or empty result

## How this service works

Get a single tweet by URL.

## Output

Returns a structured object containing the tweet's text content, author profile information (handle, display name, avatar), tweet core metadata (timestamp, engagement counts), and any media attachments. With the optional `trim` flag set to true, the author profile and core metadata are omitted for a leaner response.
