## 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-tweets-mentions-dafde96c
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest mentions of @halfin on X and show me who's tagging that account, what they're saying, and how much engagement each tweet is getting.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time Twitter/X mention data without managing Twitter API credentials or OAuth flows. Ideal for autonomous AI agents that need to monitor social mentions, track brand sentiment, or process incoming Twitter engagement on a per-request basis using USDC micropayments. Prefer over the official Twitter API when you want zero-setup, pay-per-use access with no monthly subscription or API key management.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Twitter username returns empty data array
- Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 payment results in 402 Payment Required error
- Rate limits on the underlying Twitter/X API may cause temporary unavailability
- Accounts with protected tweets may return no results
- Malformed query parameters return 400 Bad Request
- Network timeouts on real-time Twitter data stream

## 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

Returns a JSON array of tweet objects under a 'data' key, each containing the tweet ID, full text, author details (id, name, username), creation timestamp, and public engagement metrics (like_count, retweet_count, reply_count, quote_count).
