## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability x402-twit-sh-71b7917f
```

Example prompt: Can you get me the full content of this X Article — tweet ID 2010751592346030461 — and show me the title, publish date, and the article body in Markdown?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the full structured Markdown content of an X Article that is not accessible via the official X/Twitter API. Ideal when an agent needs to read, summarize, or analyze long-form articles posted on X given only the tweet ID of the hosting post.

## Known failure modes

- Tweet ID does not correspond to an X Article post — returns error or empty content
- Invalid or malformed tweet ID — returns 400 or error response
- Article has been deleted or is no longer publicly accessible — returns 404 or empty
- Rate limiting or payment failure — returns 402 Payment Required
- Tweet exists but is not an Article-type post — returns no article content

## How this service works

Retrieve the full content of an X Article by the tweet ID of the post that hosts it. Returns article title, preview text, cover image, publish date, and full article_content as Markdown (headings, bold, italic, lists, images). Not available in the official X API. Query param: id (string, required) - numeric tweet ID of the article post, e.g. GET /articles/by/id?id=2010751592346030461.

## Output

Returns the article title, a short preview text snippet, the cover image URL, the publish date, and the full article body formatted as Markdown (with headings, bold, italic, lists, and inline images).
