Usage Patterns

Monitor a topic

x_payment({
  "url": "https://twitter.surf.cascade.fyi/search",
  "method": "GET",
  "params": "{\"q\": \"x402 OR \\\"402 payment\\\" min_faves:5 within_time:24h\", \"type\": \"Latest\"}"
})

Get a tweet with full context

x_payment({
  "url": "https://twitter.surf.cascade.fyi/tweet/1585841080431321088",
  "method": "GET",
  "params": "{\"include\": \"thread,replies,quotes\", \"limit\": 20}"
})

Research a user

x_payment({
  "url": "https://twitter.surf.cascade.fyi/user/CoinbaseDev",
  "method": "GET",
  "params": "{\"include\": \"tweets\", \"limit\": 50}"
})

Paginate results

Use nextCursor from a previous response:

x_payment({
  "url": "https://twitter.surf.cascade.fyi/search",
  "method": "GET",
  "params": "{\"q\": \"from:elonmusk\", \"cursor\": \"DAABCgAB...\"}"
})

Cost

Every call costs $0.003 USDC on Solana mainnet or Base mainnet. Each paginated request is a separate call. Plan queries to minimize calls - use specific operators and reasonable limits.
