## 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 x402-orthogonal-com-search-users-cb70f371
```

Example prompt: Can you search for users matching the username 'johndoe' and show me the accounts that come up?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover or look up social media user accounts by username or name query. It is ideal for creator research, brand monitoring, finding specific accounts, or building user discovery workflows. Prefer this over manual platform searches when automating influencer or account discovery pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if no users match the query string
- Rate limiting or payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient
- Query parameter missing or malformed returns validation error
- Platform may return partial results for very common usernames
- Network timeout if the upstream scraping service is slow
