Endpoint
GEThttps://x402.apidirect.io/v1/youtube/video?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured metadata about a specific YouTube video by URL or ID, particularly when you already have the video link and need stats, descriptions, or publishing info. Prefer this over search-based endpoints when the exact video is known. It supports all major YouTube URL formats including standard watch URLs, youtu.be short links, Shorts, embeds, and live URLs.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed YouTube URL returns an error — ensure URL matches one of the supported formats (watch?v=, youtu.be/, /shorts/, /embed/, /live/, /v/) or is an 11-character video ID
- Video not found or deleted returns a 404-style error
- Private or age-restricted videos may return limited or no data
- Missing required 'url' query parameter returns a validation error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 error
