## 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 coockies-ai-youtube-api-33e705a7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the metadata for this YouTube video — title, view count, duration, and channel name — for the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to programmatically retrieve YouTube video or channel metadata without managing a Google API key, and is willing to pay per call via x402 on Base chain. Prefer this over direct YouTube Data API access when you want a managed, no-credentials-required integration.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent video ID returns empty or error result
- Private or deleted YouTube videos may return no data
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion on the underlying YouTube API
- Malformed request body returns generic error
- Payment failure on Base chain blocks the call
- YouTube API changes may cause schema mismatches
