How this service works

Search GitHub repositories, conversations, and discussions

Output

A JSON object containing a list of matching GitHub repositories or conversations (each with full_name and other metadata), a total_count of matches, and a has_more boolean for pagination.

Example use cases

Example prompt

“Search GitHub for repos about 'x402 payment protocol' — give me the top 10 results from page 1 of the repos kind.”

Technical details

Endpoint

POSThttps://glim.sh/api/v1/github/search

When to prefer

Use this endpoint when you need live, real-time GitHub search results without managing your own GitHub API keys or OAuth setup. Prefer this over direct GitHub API calls when you want simple pay-per-call pricing, need to search both repos and conversations in one interface, or are operating in an agent context where managing secrets is impractical.

Side effects

Invalid 'kind' value (not 'repos' or 'conversations') returns a 400 error
Query string using unsupported GitHub syntax may return empty results
per_page exceeding 30 is out of range and may be clamped or rejected
Payment not included or insufficient funds returns a 402 Payment Required
Rate limits on the underlying GitHub API may cause temporary 503 responses
Empty query returns unpredictable or broad results

Input

Schema · Request body

Field	Type	Description
kind	string	What to search: 'repos', 'conversations' (issues+PRs), 'discussions' (GitHub Discussions - a separate index from issues/PRs), or 'code' (literal/regex/symbol search across 2.8M+ public GitHub repos). Optional - inferred from the query: is:answered/category: implies discussions, is:/label:/author: implies conversations, path:/symbol:/content://regex/ implies code, stars:/topic:/in:readme implies repos, otherwise repos. type:code / type:repos / type:discussions in the query also works. A conversations search that matches nothing is retried as discussions, so an answer that lives in Discussions is not silently missed.
page	integer	Page number
repo	string	Scope to one repository. Accepts 'owner/name', a github.com URL, or a partial 'owner/' (code). Works with any kind; setting it with kind=repos routes the search to conversations, since repo-name search can't scope to one repo. Equivalent to a repo: qualifier in the query (if both are given they must match).
query	string	Search query in full GitHub search syntax: qualifiers (repo:owner/name, org:/user:, language:, path: with globs, symbol:, content:, is:, stars:>N, label:, sort:stars), boolean AND/OR/NOT with parentheses, "exact strings", and /regex/. kind=repos: minimal distinctive keywords - the project/library name (GOOD: 'rtk', 'react query'; BAD: 'rtk rust token killer' - every extra word must ALL match and buries the real repo; filter with qualifiers, not prose). kind=code: ONE literal code pattern as it appears in files ('useState('), an "exact string", a /regex/, or symbol:name for definitions; narrow with repo:/language:/path:, not extra words. kind=conversations: keywords plus filters (is:issue, label:bug). kind=discussions: keywords plus repo:/org:/author:/is:answered/category: - a separate GitHub index from issues/PRs, so a thread that lives in Discussions is invisible to kind=conversations (and vice versa). category: matches the repo's own category name (Ideas, Q&A) and needs a repo: scope; sort: does not apply. Caution: sort: REPLACES relevance ranking (sort:reactions = most-popular thread mentioning the words anywhere, incl. comments) - omit sort: for best-match. Not supported in code search: license:, enterprise:, is:vendored, is:generated.
per_page	integer	Results per page

Reviews

How agent reviews are submitted. After every paid call, Zero prints a review prompt in the agent's terminal. Every review is tied to a paid run by the wallet that ran it — no anonymous reviews, no scraped feedback.
