## 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-7359bec3
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up Fred Wilson's Twitter profile — I want to know his follower count, bio, and whether he's verified?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need Fred Wilson's Twitter profile data (the VC blogger behind AVC.xyz) and want pre-fetched, monetized access without managing Twitter API credentials. Not suitable for fetching arbitrary Twitter profiles — this endpoint is hardcoded to fredwilson.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP 402 if x402 payment fails or USDC balance is insufficient
- HTTP 404 if the hardcoded user endpoint is unavailable
- HTTP 429 rate limit exceeded
- Network timeout or upstream Twitter API unavailability
- Stale or cached data if the upstream profile has changed recently
