## 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 strale-github-user-profile-lookup-f28d5088
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the GitHub profile for the user 'torvalds' — I want to see their bio, follower count, and public repos?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, auditable lookups of GitHub user profiles by username and want cryptographic proof of the data returned. Prefer it over raw GitHub API calls when you need an audit trail or are operating in a compliance-sensitive agentic workflow.

## Known failure modes

- Username not found — GitHub returns 404, endpoint returns an error indicating the user does not exist
- Rate limiting — GitHub API rate limits may cause transient failures
- Invalid or empty username — schema validation rejects the request before it reaches GitHub
- Network timeout — upstream GitHub API unavailable

## How this service works

The trust layer for AI agents — 250+ independently tested data capabilities across 27 countries. Execute capabilities via REST, MCP, A2A, or x402 micropayments. Every call returns an audit record with cryptographic chain hashing.

## Output

Returns the public GitHub profile for the given username, including display name, bio, avatar URL, follower and following counts, public repository count, location, company, and blog URL. Every response also includes a cryptographic audit record with chain hashing for traceability.
