Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 twitter-surf-cascade-fyi-1d07c84b
```

Example prompt: Show me DeFiDad's recent tweets from Twitter, and include their replies too.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically retrieve tweets from a known Twitter/X username, especially within a DeFi or crypto context. Prefer it over scraping or other social APIs when you need a pay-per-call micro-payment model (x402/USDC) and want structured tweet data without managing OAuth credentials. Best suited for monitoring what specific influencers or public figures are posting.

## Known failure modes

- User not found — invalid or suspended Twitter handle returns an error
- Payment failure — x402 payment of $0.004 USDC not processed results in 402 response
- Rate limiting — too many requests in a short window returns a rate-limit error
- No tweets available — account exists but has no public tweets
- Malformed query parameter — passing non-boolean to include_replies causes a validation error
