## 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 code-search-github-npm-c39efeaf -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for the best Python libraries for extracting tables from PDFs — show me up to 10 results ranked by stars and relevance, with GitHub repos and npm packages where applicable.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to discover libraries or repositories for a specific coding task and want results filtered for quality (minimum star threshold) and recency. It combines GitHub and npm in one call, making it ideal for JavaScript/TypeScript work or cross-ecosystem discovery. Prefer this over general web search when you specifically need ranked, maintained open-source packages with metadata like stars and last activity date.

## Known failure modes

- Query too vague returns irrelevant or low-quality results
- Language filter mismatch causes empty npm results for non-JS queries
- numResults out of range (outside 1-20) may cause validation error
- Network or upstream GitHub/npm API failure returns partial or empty results
- Obscure or very new libraries may not appear due to minimum star threshold

## How this service works

Find libraries and repositories for a coding task: GitHub repositories ranked by stars and relevance (popular, maintained ones first; under 30 stars dropped) plus npm packages for JavaScript / TypeScript, with description, stars, last push or publish date and links.

## Output

A ranked list of GitHub repositories and npm packages matching the coding task query. Each result includes the name, description, star count, last push or publish date, and a direct link. GitHub results are ranked by stars and relevance with repos under 30 stars excluded; npm results are included for JavaScript/TypeScript queries.
