## 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 blackbobs-ai-youtube-v2-data-endpoint-79fbccee -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the details for this YouTube video — title, description, view count, and any other available metadata?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically retrieve YouTube video metadata without managing your own YouTube API quota or credentials. It is particularly useful for agents that need on-demand video data lookups with pay-per-call billing via the x402 protocol on Base chain, avoiding subscription overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing YouTube video ID returns an error result
- Video not found or deleted returns empty or error response
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion from upstream YouTube API
- Malformed request body causes API rejection
- Network or upstream YouTube API downtime results in failed response
