> GitBeacon Historical GitHub Digests is a paid API for AI agents from api.gitbeacon.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

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 gitbeacon-historical-github-digests-633f01df
```

Example prompt: Pull the GitBeacon historical GitHub digests for the past 14 days — up to 14 digests — so I can see how language popularity and trending tools have evolved recently.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need historical context — multiple days of GitHub trend data — rather than just the current snapshot. Ideal for trend analysis, tracking language popularity shifts, comparing tool adoption over time, or building a timeline of open-source activity. Prefer the /v1/digests/latest sibling endpoint if you only need today's data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid days parameter (outside 1-30 range) returns a validation error
- Invalid limit parameter (outside 1-30 range) returns a validation error
- Payment failure via x402 results in no charge and an error response
- Digest data unavailable for requested historical dates returns empty or partial results
- Network timeout or upstream GitHub data unavailability may return a service error

## How this service works

Paid ($0.05 USDC via x402). Historical daily GitHub digests (1-30 day lookback). Track how open-source trends, language popularity, and emerging tools evolve over time — each digest carries the same rich analysis as /v1/digests/latest, keyed by digestDate provenance. Compute-first / settle-after — you are never charged for an error.

## Output

An array of up to 30 daily GitHub digest objects, each keyed by digestDate and containing the same rich analysis as the latest digest: trending repositories sorted by stars, language popularity rankings, emerging tools highlights, and open-source trend signals — covering the requested lookback window.
