## 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 crawol-github-search-34da8a83 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search GitHub for open source Python libraries for parsing PDFs and show me the most relevant repositories.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to search GitHub programmatically without setting up OAuth or managing API keys — ideal for AI agents that need lightweight, pay-as-you-go GitHub search with no subscription overhead. Best for one-off or low-frequency searches where USDC micropayment per call is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Missing 'query' field returns a validation error
- Empty or overly broad query may return too many or irrelevant results
- Payment failure via x402 results in a 402 response and no data returned
- GitHub rate limits or API unavailability may cause upstream errors
- Malformed query syntax may yield zero results or an error from GitHub

## How this service works

Web scraping and search for AI agents. No auth, no subscriptions. Pay per request in USDC via x402.

## Output
