## 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-66400b26 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the GitHub stats for the facebook/react repo — I want to know the star count, forks, open issues, license, and what topics it's tagged with?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, structured metadata about any public GitHub repository — stars, forks, issues, language, license, and topics — without setting up GitHub API credentials yourself. Prefer it over direct GitHub API calls when operating in an x402 pay-per-call agent context where authentication is handled via micropayment.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent repo slug returns an error or empty result
- Malformed ?repo= parameter (missing slash separator) causes a bad request
- Private repositories are not accessible and will return an error
- Rate limiting on the underlying GitHub API may cause occasional failures
- Network timeout if GitHub API is temporarily slow
