## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search for specific users on Codeberg (a Forgejo-based Git hosting platform), particularly for open-source developers who prefer self-hosted or privacy-respecting alternatives to GitHub or GitLab. Prefer this over GitHub or GitLab user search endpoints when the user is specifically interested in the Codeberg ecosystem.

## Known failure modes

- Empty result array if no users match the query
- HTTP 402 if payment is not provided or is insufficient
- HTTP 400 if the query parameter is missing or malformed
- Network timeout if the Codeberg API is slow or unavailable
- Partial results if the query is too broad and results are paginated
