## 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 basebuilder2-youtube-scraper-91b1215c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scrape the YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ and give me its title, view count, like count, description, and channel info?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need YouTube video or channel metadata without using the official YouTube Data API (which has quota limits and requires a key). Ideal for quick one-off scrapes, agent workflows that need video stats, or situations where API key management is impractical. Prefer this over browser automation for speed and simplicity.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed YouTube URL returns an error
- Private or age-restricted videos may return incomplete data or fail
- YouTube anti-scraping measures may cause intermittent failures
- Deleted videos return not-found errors
- Rate limiting if called too frequently in succession
