## 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-tweet-lookup-by-id-667444e3
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the full details for tweet ID 1110302988 — I want to see the text, who posted it, when it was posted, and how many likes and retweets it has?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a specific numeric tweet ID and need to retrieve comprehensive tweet metadata including engagement metrics in an X v2-compatible format. Prefer this over search-based endpoints when you already know the exact tweet ID. It is a simple, low-cost read operation at $0.0025 per call.

## Known failure modes

- Tweet ID not found or deleted — returns 404 or empty data
- Invalid or non-numeric tweet ID — returns 400 bad request
- Tweet from a suspended or deactivated account — no data returned
- Rate limiting or upstream X API quota exceeded — returns 429
- Network or Railway deployment downtime — returns 503 or timeout
