## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-influship-com-51d46f35
```

Example prompt: Can you grab the full transcript of this YouTube video — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwEtOyaFhCA — I want to read what was said without watching it.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to extract the transcript of a YouTube video without using the official YouTube Data API, when you want live/current captions, or when you need a lightweight pay-per-call approach at $0.01 USDC per request without managing API keys.

## Known failure modes

- Video has no captions or auto-generated transcripts available — returns empty or error response
- Invalid or non-existent YouTube video ID — returns 404 or error
- Video is age-restricted or private — scraping blocked, returns error
- YouTube anti-scraping measures triggered — returns 429 or failure
- Network/scraping timeout — slow or failed live fetch
