## 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-twitter-profile-about-endpoint-8a58f81e
```

Example prompt: Pull the profile about info for the X/Twitter account @elonmusk — I need their bio, follower count, and public details without setting up a Twitter developer account.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to fetch an X/Twitter user's public profile/about data without setting up official Twitter API credentials or OAuth. Ideal for agents that need quick, one-off profile lookups and can pay $0.05 USDC per call via x402 micropayments on Base. Prefer this over official Twitter API when avoiding signup friction or when operating in a crypto-native payment environment.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent username returns an error code in the JSON response
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance causes 402 response before data is returned
- Rate limiting or upstream Twitter API downtime results in empty or error data object
- Malformed username path parameter causes routing error

## How this service works
