How this service works
Machine-readable settlement service
Output
A JSON object containing an 'operation' string describing what was performed and a 'result' field with the repository data returned from GitHub (e.g. description, stars, language, forks, and other repository metadata). The schema is open-ended and may include additional fields.
Example use cases
Open source project research
“Look up the GitHub repo openai/openai-python and tell me what you find — description, stars, language, whatever's available.”
Dependency provenance check
“I need the details on the huggingface/transformers GitHub repo — can you fetch the repo metadata so I can check if it's actively maintained?”
Automated repo monitoring pipeline
“Fetch the current metadata for vercel/next.js on GitHub so I can track whether it's been updated recently.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://pennyrail.vercel.app/api/f/github.repoWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-call access to GitHub repository metadata without managing your own GitHub API credentials or OAuth tokens. It is well-suited for agent pipelines that need on-demand, per-repo lookups at low cost ($0.001 USDC) and want a simple owner/repo string as the only input. Prefer alternatives if you need bulk repository queries, advanced search across GitHub, or access to GitHub features beyond basic repo metadata.
Side effects
- Invalid owner/repo format returns an error result
- Private or non-existent repositories return a not-found or access-denied response
- Malformed input string (missing slash separator) may cause a parse error
- GitHub API rate limiting downstream may cause intermittent failures
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the call entirely
