## 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-user-timeline-by-handle-cf19d216 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the recent public posts from @paulg's X timeline — include retweets too so I get the full picture?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the public post timeline for a specific X user identified by their username/handle. Prefer it over general web search when you need structured tweet data with metadata, or when you want consistent programmatic access to a user's feed without scraping. Ideal for monitoring, research, or enrichment tasks where the X handle is already known.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or private X handle returns empty results or 404-style error
- X API rate limiting causes temporary failures
- Handle provided does not exist on X platform
- Account is suspended or deactivated, returning no results
- Network or upstream X API outage causes request failure

## How this service works

Returns the recent public post timeline for a known X handle. Same backend as user-tweets, listed for agents that need an X user timeline from a username; read-only X API v2, excludes retweets unless include_retweets=true. Use it as a social account feed or latest-public-posts-by-handle API.

## Output

A list of recent public tweets from the specified X handle, including tweet text, timestamps, and post metadata. Retweets are excluded by default but can be included by setting include_retweets=true. Returns read-only data sourced from X API v2.
