## 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-video-data-c4251b5c
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the full transcript and metadata for this YouTube video — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ — in English?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract YouTube video transcripts or metadata without a direct YouTube Data API key, and are comfortable paying per-call via x402 micropayments. Useful for agents that need lightweight, pay-per-use access to YouTube content without managing OAuth credentials.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable YouTube URL returns an error or empty data object
- Unsupported language code may result in missing transcript
- Video with disabled captions returns no transcript data
- Payment failure via x402 blocks the request entirely
- Rate limiting or SociaVault provider downtime returns a failure response
