## 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 agent-kiosk-github-intelligence-api-e8ba8f69 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search GitHub for the top 10 repositories about 'mcp server' and give me their names, star counts, and descriptions.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs quick, pay-per-call GitHub repository intelligence without managing GitHub API keys or OAuth tokens. Ideal for lightweight repo lookups or topic-based discovery where the agent pays per query in USDC rather than maintaining API credentials. Best suited for agents already operating within the x402/Base payment ecosystem that need occasional GitHub data without a dedicated GitHub API integration.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent owner/repo string returns an error or empty data
- Topic search with no matching results returns empty list
- limit parameter out of range (>15 or <1) may be clamped or return an error
- Payment failure via x402 prevents call from completing
- Rate limiting or GitHub API quota exhaustion on the backend causes failures
- Malformed query (missing required query field) returns validation error

## How this service works

GitHub repository & open-source competitive intelligence: stars, forks, open issues, latest releases, and top repositories by topic.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with ok: true and a data object containing repository details (name, description, stars, forks, language, topics, etc.) for a specific repo lookup, or a list of matching repositories with their metadata when searching by topic. Also includes payment_mode indicating how the call was settled.
