# ForgeMesh Anomaly Tracker — Trending GitHub Signal Detection

> ForgeMesh Anomaly Tracker — Trending GitHub Signal Detection is a paid API for AI agents from anomaly.forgemesh.io, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Scans GitHub repositories created in the last N days and returns high-signal trending repos ranked by novelty, stars, and a composite sequence score.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://anomaly.forgemesh.io/api/trending-signal
- Price: $0.02/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-13
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/forgemesh-anomaly-tracker-trending-github-signal-detection-163ffd6c
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_ZodlxVvfJ-na-N6sKaZSK

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 forgemesh-anomaly-tracker-trending-github-signal-detection-163ffd6c
```

Example prompt: Show me the highest-novelty trending GitHub repos from the last 7 days — I want to see which new projects are blowing up based on stars per day and sequence score.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to quickly identify breakout or anomalous GitHub repositories within a recent time window, ranked by growth velocity and novelty. Prefer this over generic GitHub search when you want pre-scored, anomaly-ranked signal intelligence rather than raw search results.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid days parameter (not one of 3, 7, 14, 30) returns an error or falls back to default 7-day window
- Payment failure via x402 micropayment protocol blocks the request
- No high-signal repos found in the window returns an empty signals array
- GitHub API rate limiting on the backend may cause degraded or incomplete results
- Network timeout if GitHub scanning takes too long

## How this service works

Returns a ranked list of GitHub repos with anomalous star velocity (stars/day, fork ratio) plus an overall trend score — spot repos going viral before they hit mainstream feeds.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a story label (e.g. 'Trend Surge'), domain, novelty rating (e.g. 'high'), number of repos scanned, a since_date, a signal_count, a composite sequence_score, and an array of signals each containing the repo full_name, star count, language, fork_ratio, and stars_per_day.
