## 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 apollo-github-trending-repositories-feed-02dcf1aa
```

Example prompt: What are the top 20 trending AI repositories on GitHub right now — filter for Python projects and show me their star velocity?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time data on which GitHub repositories are gaining traction fastest, especially for AI/ML, web3, or general software categories. Prefer this over scraping GitHub directly when you need pre-filtered, categorized, and velocity-ranked data updated on a 4-hour cadence without rate-limit concerns.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid 'since' value returns 422 or ignored parameter
- Invalid 'language' value returns empty results or 422
- limit out of range (>50 or <1) may return default of 30
- No repos match filter combination returns empty trending_repos array
- Service temporarily unavailable returns 5xx
- Payment not included or insufficient returns 402

## How this service works

GitHub trending repos — new repositories ranked by star velocity (stars/day). Filter by language, topic, or timeframe. Updated every 4h.

## Output

A JSON object containing a list of trending repositories each with name, URL, star count, star velocity (stars/day), programming language, categories, and description; plus highlights of top movers, total repo count, category breakdown (ai-agents, web3, general), and the feed update frequency.
