## 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 devmatch-get-profile-c57cb143 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the GitHub profile for the user 'karpathy' — I want their display name, bio, and location?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call lookup of a developer's public GitHub profile metadata — especially display name, bio, and location — without setting up a full GitHub API OAuth integration. It is well-suited for agent workflows that need to enrich developer records, vet open-source contributors, or populate talent databases on demand, one handle at a time.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or non-existent GitHub handle returns an error or empty profile
- Rate limiting or payment failure results in a 402 response
- Handle provided with '@' prefix may not resolve correctly — must be supplied without '@'
- Private or suspended GitHub accounts may return incomplete or no data
- Network timeout if the upstream GitHub data source is slow

## How this service works

Pay-per-call access to engineers who uniquely fit a role, matched on open-source contributions and other public work, with evidence.

## Output

A JSON object containing the developer's GitHub login name, display name (if set), bio (if set), self-reported location (if set), and canonical GitHub profile URL. The 'view' field is always 'profile'.
