# SiteCheck GitHub Search

> SiteCheck GitHub Search is a paid API for AI agents from api.sitecheck-api.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-19).

Search GitHub repositories, issues, code, or users using GitHub search syntax and return ranked results with metadata

## Facts

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 sitecheck-github-search-2f1f2451
```

Example prompt: Search GitHub for Rust repositories related to SQLite and show me the top 5 results with their star counts and descriptions.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search GitHub programmatically without a GitHub API token, or when operating in a pay-per-call agent environment. Prefer it over direct GitHub API calls when you need a simple, monetized, token-free way to search repos, issues, code, or users with standard GitHub search syntax.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required query parameter 'q' returns a validation error
- GitHub API rate limits may cause intermittent failures or degraded results
- Very broad queries may return incomplete results with incompleteResults: true
- Invalid search type enum value causes a bad-request error
- Query string exceeding 256 characters is rejected

## How this service works

GitHub search with its own query syntax (e.g. 'sqlite language:rust stars:>100'). Repositories: name, owner, stars, forks, language, topics, licence, pushed date. Issues: title, state, labels, comments, URL. Code: path, repository and link. GitHub limits search to about 30 requests a minute; a busy minute is a 503, not charged. Limit max 30.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the search type, query string, total result count, incomplete-results flag, source attribution, timestamp, and an array of matching items. For repositories each item includes: full name, owner, URL, stars, forks, language, topics, licence, archived status, description, and last push date.
