## 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 basebuilder-misc-youtube-search-6b53a8e3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search YouTube for videos about 'how to build a React app' and give me the top results including titles, channel names, and links.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic YouTube video search results without managing your own YouTube API credentials, and you are willing to pay per call via USDC. Suitable for agents that need to surface relevant video content on demand.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or vague query returns irrelevant results
- YouTube API rate limits or quota exceeded returning error
- Invalid or malformed request body returns 400 error
- Payment not processed returns 402 Payment Required
