## 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 saylor-innovations-gitlab-project-search-f8bec702
```

Example prompt: Search GitLab for public projects related to 'terraform' and show me the top results sorted by stars, including their descriptions, fork counts, and when they were last active.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover or explore public GitLab.com repositories by keyword — especially when you want star-ranked results with metadata like forks, topics, and last activity. Prefer this over GitHub search endpoints when the user specifically wants GitLab projects. Ideal for developer research, open-source discovery, and ecosystem analysis tasks.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'q' query parameter returns an error
- Query with no matching projects returns an empty projects array
- GitLab API rate limiting may cause upstream failures
- Overly broad keywords may return large but noisy result sets
- Payment of $0.01 USDC required per call; unpaid requests will be rejected with 402

## How this service works

Search public GitLab.com projects by keyword - path, description, stars, forks, last activity, topics, default branch and archived flag, ranked by stars

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the interpreted query string, a count of results, the data source, and an array of matching GitLab projects. Each project includes its path, description, star count, fork count, last activity timestamp, topics, default branch name, and archived status. Results are ranked by star count descending.
