```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the GitHub repo details for facebook/react — I want to know the star count, number of forks, top contributors, latest releases, and what license it uses?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, programmatic access to GitHub repository metadata such as stars, forks, contributors, releases, and license — especially in agentic workflows where you need open source intelligence without scraping GitHub directly. Prefer this over general web search when you need clean, structured repo data.

## Known failure modes

- Repository not found — returns 404 or error if owner/repo name is incorrect
- Private repository — cannot retrieve details for non-public repos
- GitHub API rate limiting — may fail under heavy usage
- Invalid or malformed repository identifier — returns validation error
- Payment failure — USDC transaction on Base or Solana not processed
