## 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-x-profile-resolver-by-handle-fetcher-sh-013b4dd7
```

Example prompt: Look up the Twitter profile for the handle @sama and tell me their bio, follower count, and when the account was created.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve a Twitter/X profile by username without setting up OAuth credentials or a Twitter developer account. Ideal for lightweight, pay-as-you-go profile lookups in agent workflows where subscribing to the official Twitter API is too expensive or operationally complex. Prefer this over official Twitter API when you need quick, no-auth access billed in USDC per call.

## Known failure modes

- Handle does not exist — returns 404 or empty result
- Handle is suspended or deactivated — returns error or empty profile
- Rate limiting or scraping block from Twitter/X — may return 429 or partial data
- Malformed handle input (spaces, special chars) — returns 400 bad request
- Payment failure in USDC — x402 payment not accepted, request blocked
