## 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 x-twitter-bulk-tweet-lookup-via-x402-b43955cf -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up these tweet IDs — 1234567890123456789, 9876543210987654321 — and give me the full text, like/retweet counts, author username, and the language each was posted in?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you already have specific tweet IDs and need to bulk-retrieve their content, metrics, and author info without maintaining your own X API credentials or USDC payment infrastructure. Ideal for AI agents that need pay-per-call, no-subscription access to X data on Base/USDC. Prefer over direct X API v2 calls when operating in an agentic/MCP environment with x402 micropayment settlement.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or deleted tweet IDs return empty or error entries per ID
- Missing or invalid X_BEARER_TOKEN results in 401 unauthorized
- Rate limit exceeded on upstream X API v2 returns 429
- Malformed request body (missing tweet_ids/ids field) returns 400 bad request
- Private or suspended accounts' tweets are inaccessible and return not-found errors
- x402 payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) prevents call from completing
