## 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 northline-github-commit-insights-2cee8eca
```

Example prompt: Pull the recent commit history for the openai/openai-python repository on the main branch and tell me who's been contributing the most over the last 30 days.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, pay-per-call access to GitHub commit data without setting up OAuth tokens or API keys. Ideal for agents that need one-off or infrequent commit lookups across multiple repositories without maintaining persistent credentials. Prefer over direct GitHub API calls when operating in an x402 micropayment environment where per-call billing at $0.005 USDC is acceptable and account-free access is required.

## Known failure modes

- Repository not found or is private — returns 404-equivalent error
- Invalid owner or repo name format — returns validation error
- Rate limiting on upstream GitHub API — may return timeout or retry response
- No commits found for the specified branch or date range — returns empty result set
- Payment failure via x402 protocol — returns 402 Payment Required
