## 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 datapipe-api-video-search-85db3a78 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for videos about 'how to make sourdough bread' and give me the top 5 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to programmatically search for video content by keyword and retrieve structured video results without scraping. Ideal when you need on-demand video discovery with pay-per-use pricing via x402 on Base chain rather than managing API keys or subscriptions.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'query' parameter returns validation error
- Query returns zero results for very niche or obscure topics
- Payment not received or insufficient funds on Base chain results in 402 error
- Rate limiting or upstream video search provider outage returns 5xx error
- Very high 'num' value may result in slow response or truncated results

## How this service works

Multi-source data API for AI agents. Search, news, Reddit, translation, web scraping. Pay with x402 on Base chain.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a success boolean and a data object containing video search results including titles, URLs, thumbnails, and other metadata for videos matching the query.
