## 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 stablesocial-github-following-scraper-3a8df5b5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the full list of GitHub accounts that the user 'torvalds' is following — I want to see their following list with profile details.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic, pay-per-request access to a GitHub user's following list without managing GitHub API tokens or rate limits. Ideal for agents building social graphs, researching developer networks, or monitoring following activity on GitHub. Prefer over direct GitHub API calls when you want a simple per-call billing model with no OAuth setup.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent GitHub username returns an error or empty result
- Private GitHub accounts may not expose following data
- Rate limiting or GitHub blocking the scraper returns a failure response
- Payment failure via x402 protocol prevents the request from completing
- Pagination may be required for users following large numbers of accounts
