## 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-trending-developers-list-19e6bdad
```

Example prompt: Who are the trending GitHub developers for Python this week?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover which individual developers are currently trending on GitHub, optionally filtered by programming language and time window. Prefer this over general GitHub search when you specifically want trending/rising developers rather than searching by criteria like stars or followers.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid 'since' value (not daily/weekly/monthly) returns a validation error
- Empty language string may return an error or default to all languages
- No trending data available for a very niche language may return an empty list
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returning 5xx errors

## How this service works
