## 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 twit-sh-get-twitter-x-user-following-list-3f55df59
```

Example prompt: Pull the full list of accounts that Twitter user ID 9253672 (Hal Finney) is following — I want their usernames, bios, and follower counts, and page through all results if there are more than one page.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the following list of a specific Twitter/X user by numeric ID without setting up Twitter API credentials or OAuth. Ideal for autonomous AI agents that need real-time social graph data and can pay per-request in USDC on Base. Prefer this over the official Twitter API when you want zero-setup access or are operating in an agent context that supports x402 micropayments.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent user ID returns an empty data array or 404-equivalent error
- Exhausted or invalid next_token causes pagination to fail or restart from the beginning
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC or x402 issue) results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Rate limiting or upstream Twitter/X API throttling may return a 429 or service-unavailable error
- Private/protected accounts may return an empty or restricted following list

## How this service works

Real-time Twitter/X data for AI agents. No sign-up, no API keys. Pay per request in USDC on Base via x402. Fully autonomous.

## Output

A JSON array of user objects under 'data', each containing the user's numeric ID, display name, username, verified status, bio description, and public metrics (like_count, tweet_count, followers_count, following_count). A 'meta' object with a next_token is included when additional pages exist, enabling pagination through the full following list.
