## 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 gedx402-social-sociavault-youtube-channel-lookup-ed8a63a1
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the YouTube channel profile for the channel at youtube.com/@mkbhd — I need the channel metadata like name, description, and stats from SociaVault.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need YouTube channel-level profile data (metadata, stats) and are comfortable with per-call x402 USDC micropayments. Prefer this over scraping when you need a clean API abstraction backed by SociaVault's proxy. Best when you have a channel URL, handle, or channel ID ready.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid channel identifier (url, handle, or channelId) returns an error or empty data
- Channel not found on YouTube returns success:false or empty data object
- Rate limiting or upstream SociaVault unavailability returns a service error
- Payment failure via x402 prevents the request from completing
- Ambiguous input (e.g. partial handle) may return incorrect or no results
