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 crawl-github-search-fdf9d82a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search GitHub for open source Python libraries related to 'vector database embeddings' and show me the top results including repo names, star counts, and descriptions.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to search GitHub programmatically without managing auth tokens or subscriptions — ideal for discovering repos, code, or issues on-demand with a simple pay-per-request model via x402/USDC. Prefer this over direct GitHub API calls when you want zero-auth simplicity and micropayment billing.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed query string returns an error response
- Payment failure via x402 prevents the request from completing
- GitHub API rate limits or downtime cause failures
- Query returns zero results for very niche or misspelled terms
- Network timeout if GitHub is slow to respond
