> GitHub Search API (Cerawal) is a paid API for AI agents from cerawal.vercel.app, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

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 github-search-api-cerawal-25729671 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search GitHub for the most popular Python web scraping libraries — query something like 'python web scraping stars:>1000'.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to search GitHub programmatically without managing OAuth credentials or subscriptions — ideal for one-off searches paid per-request in USDC via x402. Prefer over direct GitHub API integration when avoiding key management is a priority.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'query' field returns an error
- Malformed or overly complex search query may return no results or a GitHub API error
- Rate limiting or upstream GitHub API unavailability may cause failures
- Payment not completed via x402 results in 402 Payment Required response
