## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability x402-twit-sh-c2eb12b4
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the full details for tweet ID 1110302988 — I want to see the text, who posted it, when it was posted, and how many likes and retweets it got?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a specific tweet ID and need the full tweet payload including engagement metrics and author profile. Ideal for enriching datasets, verifying tweet content, or monitoring a known tweet's performance over time. Prefer this over search-based endpoints when the exact tweet ID is already known.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-numeric tweet ID returns a 400 or 404 error
- Tweet has been deleted — returns not found error
- Tweet belongs to a private/protected account — returns restricted access error
- Missing required 'id' query parameter returns a validation error
- Insufficient payment or expired x402 payment — returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limit exceeded returns a 429 Too Many Requests error
