## 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-stats-lookup-4d5aad61
```

Example prompt: Can you check the GitHub repo stats for solana-labs/solana — I want to know how many stars it has and what the latest release tag is?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-call access to GitHub repository stats (stars, latest release) without managing GitHub API tokens or rate limits. It is especially useful in agent workflows that need to programmatically compare repository popularity or track release versions as part of a broader decision pipeline.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent owner/repo slug returns an error or empty response
- Private repositories are not accessible and will return an access error
- Malformed repo parameter (missing slash, wrong format) will cause a validation error
- Rate limiting or upstream GitHub API issues may cause intermittent failures

## How this service works

50 pay-per-call tools for agents over x402 (USDC on Base, Polygon, Solana): crypto market data, token audits, indicators, swap routing, web extraction, DNS/WHOIS/email checks, FX, weather and AI text/image tools.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the repository's star count and latest release information including the release tag, e.g. {stars: 4000, latestRelease: {tag: 'v1.0.0'}}.
