## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, up-to-date YouTube Shorts results for a specific keyword or topic. Prefer this over static datasets or cached search tools when recency matters — e.g. tracking trending content, monitoring viral topics, or researching what short-form videos currently exist around a subject.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for obscure or very niche queries
- Rate limiting or quota errors if called too frequently
- Payment failure or 402 response if USDC payment is not included
