## 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-social-intel-twitter-followers-00b43464 -d '<json body>'
```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic, on-demand Twitter follower data and are already operating in an x402/EVM micropayment environment on Base mainnet. It is well-suited for agents that need quick social proof lookups, influencer vetting, or competitive benchmarking without maintaining a Twitter API developer account. Prefer alternatives (official Twitter API v2) if you need authenticated user data, detailed timeline access, or volume queries without per-call micropayments.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Twitter handle returns an error or empty result
- Payment failure on Base mainnet prevents the request from being processed
- Rate limiting or scraping blocks from Twitter/X may return incomplete or no data
- Private/suspended accounts may return no follower data
- Network timeout on the Vercel-hosted endpoint may cause intermittent failures
