Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 bolt-github-user-lookup-a6a54a05 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the GitHub profile for the user 'torvalds' — I want to see their public account info like bio, followers, and repos?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically look up a GitHub user's public profile by username and want a pay-per-use model without managing GitHub API credentials or rate limits yourself. Prefer this over direct GitHub API calls when operating in an agent context with x402 micropayment infrastructure already in place.

## Known failure modes

- Username not found — GitHub user does not exist (likely 404 or success:false)
- Empty or null data object if the account is suspended or hidden
- Network timeout or upstream GitHub API rate limit exceeded
- Missing required 'username' field returns validation error
