# OnchainExpat x402 GitHub Repo Info API

> OnchainExpat x402 GitHub Repo Info API is a paid API for AI agents from x402.onchainexpat.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Fetches detailed information about a GitHub repository via a pay-per-request x402 protocol endpoint

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 onchainexpat-x402-github-repo-info-api-2f42a8f0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the GitHub repo details for coinbase/cdp-sdk — things like the description, star count, main language, and license?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need on-demand GitHub repository metadata without managing GitHub API keys or rate limits, and you are operating in an x402 micropayment-enabled agent environment where pay-per-request at $0.01 USDC is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Repository not found — returns error if owner/repo name is invalid or repo is private
- Payment failure — x402 payment not accepted or insufficient USDC balance
- Rate limiting — too many requests in a short period
- Malformed request — missing required owner or repo fields
- GitHub API unavailable — upstream outage causes failure
