> GoCreative YouTube Search API is a paid API for AI agents from api.gocreativeai.com, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Searches YouTube for videos or channels matching a keyword or query string, returning results via a pay-per-call REST endpoint.

## 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 gocreative-youtube-search-api-81d6cfa8
```

Example prompt: Search YouTube for 'beginner Python tutorials' and show me the top results — titles, links, and any available metadata.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to search YouTube programmatically without managing a Google API key or OAuth credentials, and is willing to pay $0.05 USDC per call via x402. Ideal for one-off or low-volume YouTube searches embedded in agentic workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'input' query parameter returns a 400-level error
- Query string with no YouTube matches returns an empty results array
- YouTube API quota exceeded on the backend causes a 503 or timeout
- Invalid or malformed query string may return unexpected results
- Payment failure via x402 returns a 402 Payment Required response before data is served

## How this service works

483,000+ pay-per-call data APIs and free tools built on official sources — finance, company & government data, FRED, Census, crypto, calculators. USDC on Base via x402, native MCP. No API key, no signup.

## Output

A list of YouTube search results matching the query, likely including video titles, URLs, channel names, and possibly view counts or publish dates, returned as structured JSON.
