## 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 httpay-xyz-github-api-gateway-x402-pay-per-call-58cf891a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Update the branch protection rules for the 'main' branch on my GitHub repo 'acme-org/backend-service' — set required reviews to 2 and enforce for admins — using the httpay pay-per-call GitHub gateway.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to make GitHub REST API PUT calls without managing GitHub API keys or OAuth tokens, and prefer paying per-call in USDC via x402 micropayments on Base. Ideal for agent workflows that occasionally update GitHub resources without committing to a subscription or storing long-lived credentials. Also useful when building on the x402 payment protocol and want a curated, Coinbase-adjacent gateway.

## Known failure modes

- 402 Payment Required if USDC payment header is missing or malformed
- 404 Not Found if the GitHub resource path does not exist
- 422 Unprocessable Entity if the request body fails GitHub API validation
- 401 Unauthorized if the proxied GitHub credentials are invalid or rate-limited
- 400 Bad Request if the path template is malformed or unsupported by GitHub v3
- 503 Service Unavailable if the gateway or GitHub API is temporarily down
