## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability x402-twit-sh-571a421b
```

Example prompt: Can you find me Twitter/X user accounts related to 'renewable energy' — I want to discover people or organizations posting about that topic?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover Twitter/X user accounts by topic, name, or keyword — especially for influencer research, community mapping, or finding experts in a subject area. Prefer this over follower/following endpoints when you don't have a specific user ID and need to explore accounts by interest or identity.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'query' parameter returns a 400 error
- Invalid or expired next_token returns a pagination error
- Empty result set when no users match the query
- Rate limiting or payment failure (402) if USDC payment not provided
- Query too long or containing unsupported characters may return an error

## How this service works

Search Twitter/X for user accounts matching a keyword or phrase. Returns up to 20 matching user profiles per page with pagination support. Useful for discovering users by topic, name, or keyword. Query params: query (string, required) - search keyword or phrase; next_token (string, optional) - pagination cursor from previous response, e.g. GET /users/search?query=bitcoin. Returns X v2 API-compatible JSON.

## Output

Returns up to 20 Twitter/X user profiles per page in X v2 API-compatible JSON, including handles, display names, bios, and follower counts, plus a next_token cursor for paginating through additional results.
