# GitHub User Profile Lookup

> GitHub User Profile Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from www.amnt.io, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Fetches a GitHub user's public profile data — name, bio, company, follower count, and public repo count — and returns it as JSON via the public GitHub API.

## 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-user-profile-lookup-7d52b8b0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Look up the GitHub profile for the user 'torvalds' and tell me their bio, company, number of followers, and how many public repos they have.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-call access to a GitHub user's public profile metadata without setting up a GitHub API key or OAuth token. Ideal for agents enriching developer records, vetting contributors, or pulling one-off profile snapshots. Prefer this over direct GitHub API calls when you want x402 micropayment-based access with no account required.

## Known failure modes

- GitHub username not found — returns error or empty result
- GitHub API rate limit exceeded — may return rate-limit error
- Invalid or malformed prompt string — agent may return unclear output
- GitHub user has no public profile data — some fields may be null or empty
- Network timeout or upstream GitHub API outage
