Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic, no-OAuth access to YouTube channel live stream data paid per-call in USDC — ideal for AI agents that need to monitor or surface live content without managing YouTube API keys or subscriptions. Prefer this over the official YouTube Data API when you want frictionless pay-per-use access with no account setup.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent channel ID returns an empty result or 404-equivalent error
- Channel has no live streams returns an empty list
- Payment failure in USDC results in 402 response blocking access
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in quick succession
- YouTube data may be slightly delayed or cached
