## 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 influship-live-youtube-channel-scraper-2d83024a
```

Example prompt: Pull the live YouTube channel data for MrBeast — I want their current subscriber count, video count, and any other raw channel stats you can scrape right now.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need live, real-time YouTube channel data without being subject to the official YouTube Data API quota limits. Ideal for influencer research, competitor monitoring, or enriching creator profiles with up-to-date subscriber and engagement stats. Prefer this over the YouTube API when you need uncached, fresh data or want to avoid API key management overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Channel handle not found or channel does not exist on YouTube
- YouTube rate limiting or anti-scraping measures temporarily blocking the request
- Payment of $0.01 USDC not completed via x402 protocol, resulting in 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout if YouTube is slow to respond
- Channel may have been deleted or renamed since last crawl
