## 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 x402-github-search-api-fd207c5e
```

Example prompt: Search GitHub for repositories about 'vector databases' written in Python — show me the top 10 results sorted by stars, searching by repositories type.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic GitHub search with per-call micropayment billing (no GitHub API key required), especially suitable for AI agents that make occasional searches without a persistent GitHub OAuth token. Prefer over direct GitHub API when you want frictionless USDC-based payment via x402 on Base or Solana mainnet rather than managing API credentials.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'q' parameter returns an error response
- Invalid 'type' enum value is rejected
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC causes 402 Payment Required response
- GitHub API rate limit exceeded on backend returns an error
- Overly broad query may return irrelevant or truncated results
- per_page values outside 1-20 range may be clamped or rejected
