## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need Twitter follower data programmatically and are willing to pay a small per-call micropayment in USDC on Base mainnet. Useful for influencer vetting, audience analysis, and social intelligence workflows where native Twitter API access is unavailable or costly. Prefer over Twitter's official API when seeking a simple pay-per-use model without OAuth setup.

- Rate limiting or scraping block from Twitter — returns 429 or upstream error
- Invalid or missing username parameter — returns 400 bad request
