## 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 radar-github-trending-scraper-b7c3b668 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What Python and TypeScript repositories are trending on GitHub today? Give me up to 50 results with full details like topics, license, and open issue counts.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, filterable trending data from GitHub — especially when you want to scope by programming language, time period, or mode (repos vs developers). It is preferable to manual scraping or GitHub's own API (which lacks a trending endpoint) and is ideal for automation, newsletters, competitive intelligence, or developer discovery workflows.

## Known failure modes

- GitHub rate limiting on detail calls if no token provided (approx. 60/hr limit)
- Empty results if specified language has no trending entries for the period
- Invalid language code returns no results or error
- Invalid period value rejected by schema validation
- Payment not charged if no results returned

## How this service works

Fast tools (web read, domain RDAP/DNS/SSL, Federal Register, clinical trials, Polymarket+Kalshi odds, OSV vulnerabilities) and data APIs (leads, jobs, YouTube, Reddit, Trends, tenders...). POST JSON, pay per call in USDC on Base via x402. Charged only when results are returned.

## Output

A JSON object containing a count of results and an array of items representing trending repositories or developers. Each repository item includes metadata such as name, description, stars, forks, and optionally topics, license, homepage, open issues count, watcher count, creation date, and last push date when includeDetails is true.
