## 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-5e43f955
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the recent tweets from the Twitter account 'levie', and skip any replies so I only see original posts?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically retrieve tweets from a specific Twitter/X user by their handle, especially in a paid, x402-based micropayment context. Prefer this over scraping or direct Twitter API if you need a simple HTTP GET with per-call micropayment pricing and no OAuth setup.

## Known failure modes

- Username not found or account suspended — 404 or empty response
- Payment not sent or insufficient — 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting or upstream Twitter API throttling — 429 or 503
- Truncated response for accounts with large tweet volumes — _truncated flag set in response

## How this service works

User tweets

## Output

Returns a list of recent tweets from the specified Twitter/X user, including tweet content and associated metadata. The response is paginated or truncated for large timelines. When include_replies is false, only original tweets (not replies) are returned.
