## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability github-trending-repositories-search-0652565e
```

Example prompt: Can you show me the top 10 most-starred Rust repositories on GitHub tagged with 'wasm', created after 2023-01-01?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, ranked snapshot of the most popular or recently active GitHub repositories for a given language or topic, especially when you want structured metadata (stars, forks, URL) without scraping GitHub directly. Prefer this over raw GitHub API calls when cost, simplicity, and pre-filtered results are priorities.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid language or topic filter returns empty results
- Invalid date format for created_after causes a validation error
- Limit exceeds cap of 20 returns an error or is clamped
- GitHub API rate limits or outages result in failed responses
- Unrecognized sort enum value causes a bad request error

## How this service works

Top GitHub repositories by language and/or topic (optionally newer than a date), ranked by stars/forks/recently-updated: name, full_name, stars, language, description, url, pushed_at. From the official GitHub Search API.

## Output

A ranked list of up to 20 GitHub repositories, each including the repo name, full_name, star count, programming language, description, GitHub URL, and last pushed date — sourced from the official GitHub Search API.
