## 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-a4848313
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the tweet with ID 2056174876684390471 from Twitter Surf and show me its full text and language?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a specific tweet ID and need to retrieve its content, text, language, and URL. Prefer this over user-timeline endpoints when you already know the exact tweet ID rather than needing to browse a user's recent activity. It is the most direct way to hydrate a known tweet reference into full content.

## Known failure modes

- Tweet ID does not exist or has been deleted — likely returns 404 or empty data
- Tweet belongs to a private/suspended account — access denied
- Invalid or malformed tweet ID — schema validation error
- Rate limiting or payment failure — 402 or 429 response
- Network timeout for high-latency upstream Twitter API calls

## How this service works

Fetches a specific X/Twitter post by tweet ID after payment.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the tweet's numeric ID, canonical X.com URL, detected language code, and full tweet text content. Long tweets may be truncated in the response.
