# GEDX402 Firecrawl — Search/Research (GitHub)

> GEDX402 Firecrawl — Search/Research (GitHub) is a paid API for AI agents from browser.gedx402.com, paid per call via x402, $0.13/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Performs a research-oriented web search via Firecrawl v2 over x402, specifically targeting GitHub content, returning structured results without requiring API keys.

## Facts

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 gedx402-firecrawl-search-research-github-cb3cae07
```

Example prompt: Search GitHub for open source Python libraries that do PDF parsing and return the top results — use up to 500 tokens in the response.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to search or research GitHub content specifically, without holding a personal GitHub or Firecrawl API key, and want to pay per-call with USDC via x402. Prefer over self-hosted Firecrawl when you want zero credential management and instant access.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received — returns 402 if USDC payment is not attached or insufficient
- Invalid messages array format — returns error if message objects are malformed
- max_tokens too low — may truncate or reject response
- GitHub rate limiting or access restrictions reducing result quality
- Empty or ambiguous query producing low-relevance results
