## 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-f1b397f2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the GitHub profile for the user 'torvalds' — I want to see their bio, follower count, and public repo stats?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to quickly retrieve public GitHub profile information for a known username without managing GitHub API credentials or rate limits yourself. Prefer it over direct GitHub API calls when operating in a pay-per-call micropayment context on Base/USDC. Best for agent workflows that need to enrich developer profiles or validate GitHub identities on demand.

## Known failure modes

- Username not found: GitHub user does not exist, returns success false or 404-equivalent
- Invalid username format: empty or malformed username string causes validation error
- Rate limiting: underlying GitHub API rate limit exceeded, may return error or empty data
- Network timeout: upstream GitHub API unreachable, request fails
- Payment failure: insufficient USDC balance causes 402 before request is processed
