## 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-6e390a46
```

Example prompt: Search Twitter for the latest tweets about 'OpenAI GPT-5' — show me up to 50 results sorted by Latest.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search public tweets by keyword, hashtag, mention, or advanced Twitter search operators. Prefer this over user-specific tweet endpoints when you don't have a specific username and need broad topic-based search. Ideal for monitoring public sentiment, tracking trends, or gathering social media data programmatically via a paid x402 micropayment API.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'q' parameter returns a validation error
- Invalid sort enum value (not 'Latest' or 'Top') causes rejection
- Limit outside 1-200 range may be clamped or cause an error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns 402 error
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in quick succession
- Empty results returned if query matches no tweets
