# Pricing State API — GitHub Pricing Snapshot

> Pricing State API — GitHub Pricing Snapshot is a paid API for AI agents from pricing-state-api.replit.app, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).

Returns a structured snapshot of GitHub's current pricing plans, including plan names, prices, currency, billing period, and features.

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 pricing-state-api-github-pricing-snapshot-e54c407f
```

Example prompt: What are GitHub's current pricing plans and how much do they cost — get me the structured breakdown including plan names, prices, billing periods, and any features listed.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need machine-readable, structured GitHub pricing data without scraping the GitHub website yourself. Ideal for agents doing cost comparisons, budget analysis, or pricing change monitoring across SaaS tools. Prefer this over raw web scraping when you want a consistent schema with plan names, prices, billing periods, and features already parsed and normalized.

## Known failure modes

- 404 — slug not found in catalog (no charge made)
- 503 — monitor exists but has no first successful check yet (no charge made)
- Payment failure — wallet lacks sufficient USDC on Base
- x402 handshake failure if client does not support the protocol

## How this service works

$0.01 USDC required (x402 / Base)

Paid 0.01 USDC. Structured snapshot for one catalog slug: plan names, prices, currency, billing period, price text, features when present, snapshot time. Unknown slug returns 404 and a monitor with no first successful check returns 503, both before charge.

No API key needed. Pay with any x402-compatible wallet that holds USDC on Base. If your agent does not yet have a funded wallet, set one up via Coinbase Agentic Wallet or Base MCP — then standard x402 clients will pay and retry automatically.

## Output

A structured JSON snapshot containing GitHub's catalog entry with plan names, prices, currency, billing period, price text, features (when available), and the timestamp of when the snapshot was taken. Returns 503 if no successful check has been recorded yet, or 404 if the slug is not found — both before any charge is made.
