## 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-9af369b1
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the Twitter profile for @recallnet — I want to see their bio, follower count, and whether they're verified?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured Twitter profile data (bio, follower count, verification status, profile images) for a known username without setting up your own Twitter API credentials. Ideal for agent workflows that need to enrich data with social proof, verify a brand's Twitter presence, or pull public metrics for a specific account. The pay-per-call x402 model makes it suitable for low-volume or one-off lookups.

## Known failure modes

- Username not found — returns empty or 404-equivalent if the account doesn't exist or has been suspended
- Rate limiting — repeated calls may be throttled by the underlying Twitter API
- Payment failure — x402 payment of $0.001 USDC required per call; insufficient funds cause request rejection
- Private/protected account — some profile fields may be omitted for protected accounts
- Username changed — stale usernames may not resolve to the expected account
