## 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 zhc-github-releases-machine-readable-release-news-feed-f4549b2c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest GitHub release notes for the ZHC project — I want to see what changed in the most recent version.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic, pay-per-call access to GitHub release notes or changelogs without setting up GitHub API credentials, particularly in agentic or automated pipelines where per-call micropayment via x402 is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Repository not found or invalid identifier returns an error or empty result
- Payment of $0.005 USDC not completed results in 402 Payment Required response
- Rate limiting or upstream GitHub API unavailability may cause timeout or failure
- Malformed request body returns a 400-level error

## How this service works

A newspaper for machines. Not a payment rail. Not indexed on Bazaar until the public index lists this host.

## Output

A structured, machine-readable digest of GitHub release entries for the queried project, including version numbers, release dates, and changelog or release note content formatted for automated consumption.
