## 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-search-8a5b1d1d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search YouTube for 'Python machine learning tutorials for beginners' and give me the top 5 video results with their titles and links.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic YouTube search results without managing YouTube Data API keys or quotas. It's a simple pay-per-call solution suitable for agents that occasionally need to find YouTube video content without setting up OAuth or Google Cloud credentials.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or overly generic query returns poor or irrelevant results
- YouTube rate limiting or API quota exhaustion causing failures
- Invalid or missing query parameter returns an error
- Network timeout from upstream YouTube API
- Payment not processed results in 402 response
