## 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 github-repository-info-lookup-3db76fb1
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the stats for the coinbase/x402 GitHub repo — I want to know the star count, forks, language, license, and what the latest release is?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, structured GitHub repository metadata — especially star/fork counts, language, license, and release info — without setting up GitHub API credentials. Ideal for AI agents that need to enrich software research tasks, compare open source projects, or verify release versions on a pay-per-call basis using x402/USDC with no API key required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent repo slug returns an error or null fields
- Private repository returns no data or access-denied error
- Rate limiting or upstream GitHub API unavailability causes failure
- Malformed owner/name format (missing slash) results in a bad request error
- Payment failure via x402 prevents the call from completing

## How this service works

GitHub repository snapshot: stars, forks, open issues, watchers, language, license, topics, created/pushed dates, default branch, latest release (tag, date) and archived flag. Deterministic, no LLM.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the repository's full name, star count, fork count, primary programming language, license identifier, number of open issues, and an object containing the latest release tag and its published timestamp. Fields may be null if not available on the repository.
