## 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 forgemesh-video-to-audio-extractor-8763acb0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the audio out of this video and give it to me as an MP3? Here's the URL: https://example.com/my-screen-recording.mp4

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically extract or convert audio from a public video URL into MP3 format on demand, especially for preprocessing steps like transcription, audio normalization, or media pipeline ingestion. Prefer it over static library solutions when the source is a direct URL and privacy (immediate deletion of source files) matters.

## Known failure modes

- URL is not publicly accessible — returns error indicating unreachable source
- File exceeds 25MB size limit — returns size violation error
- URL points to unsupported or corrupt media format — returns processing error
- Network timeout fetching the remote media file
- Non-media URL provided — returns invalid input error

## How this service works

Video-to-audio extraction: pulls the audio track out of any public video or audio URL (up to 25MB) and returns it as an MP3, encoded on request rather than pulled from a pre-made library. Source files are deleted the moment processing finishes. Use it to prep clips for transcription, strip audio from screen recordings, or normalize mixed formats before a media pipeline.

## Output

An MP3-encoded audio file extracted from the submitted video or audio URL. Source files are deleted after processing. The audio is freshly encoded on demand rather than served from a cache.
