Example prompt: Find me GitHub users based in Berlin who have more than 500 followers — I'm looking for potential engineering leads or developer contacts to reach out to.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically search GitHub users by location, follower count, or other search qualifiers for talent sourcing, recruiting, or developer lead generation — particularly when you want structured JSON output without direct GitHub API credentials or quota management.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if qualifiers are too restrictive or no users match
- Malformed query string causes API error or unexpected results
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion returns an error response
- Invalid qualifier syntax (e.g. unsupported field names) may return empty or error JSON
- Payment failure ($0.02 USDC) blocks the request via x402 protocol

## How this service works

GitHub users matching search qualifiers (?q=location:berlin followers:>500) — talent/lead-sourcing signal. Returns JSON.

## Output

Returns a JSON list of GitHub user profiles matching the search qualifiers, including usernames, follower counts, locations, and profile links — structured for talent sourcing or lead identification.
