## 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 datavault-github-user-lookup-1dfd3262 -d '<json body>'

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

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call lookup of a GitHub user's public profile without setting up your own GitHub API credentials or managing rate limits. Ideal for agents enriching developer profiles, verifying GitHub handles, or pulling repo/follower stats on demand at low cost ($0.02 USDC per call).

## Known failure modes

- Username not found on GitHub — likely returns success: false or a 404-style error in the data object
- Invalid or empty username input — request may fail schema validation
- GitHub API rate limiting downstream — may cause intermittent failures
- Network timeout to GitHub API — returns error response
- Malformed username with special characters — may cause lookup failure
