## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability xmedia-x-twitter-media-downloader-c84ace1f
```

Example prompt: Can you get me the direct downloadable video and image links from this tweet: https://x.com/NASA/status/1234567890?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need direct CDN media URLs from a public X/Twitter post without running a browser or scraping HTML. Ideal for agents that need to re-host, embed, or download tweet videos and images programmatically. Prefer over generic scrapers when you specifically need .mp4 video links with thumbnails from X posts.

## Known failure modes

- Tweet URL is private or requires login — returns error or empty media list
- Tweet has no media (text-only post) — returns empty media arrays
- Invalid or malformed tweet URL — returns validation error
- Tweet has been deleted — returns not found error
- Rate limiting or payment failure — returns 402 or 429 error

## How this service works

**Twitter (X) Video & Image Downloader — Tweet Media to Direct CDN URLs** on x402 Atlas — pay-per-call over the [x402 protocol](https://x402.org).

Paid routes are billed per call in USDC on Base, starting at $0.005; each operation states its exact price below. Request a route with no payment to receive the `402` challenge, then repeat it with an `X-PAYMENT` header — an x402 client (`x402-fetch` / `x402-axios`) performs that exchange for you.

## Output

Returns direct CDN URLs for all media in the tweet: .mp4 video file URLs with associated thumbnail images, plus direct URLs for every image attached to the post — ready to stream, embed, re-host, or download without scraping or browser automation.
