## 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-youtube-transcript-scraper-7c745f00
```

Example prompt: Can you get me the full transcript of the YouTube video with ID 7H13rTXdPR4?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the spoken text content of a specific YouTube video identified by its video ID. Prefer this over manual scraping or YouTube Data API when you need live transcript data without API quota constraints and are willing to pay per-call. Best suited for single-video transcript extraction tasks where the video ID is known.

## Known failure modes

- Video ID not found or video does not exist — likely 404 or empty response
- Video has no captions or transcripts available — may return empty or error
- Video is private or age-restricted — scraping may fail
- YouTube anti-scraping measures triggered — request may time out or return error
- Invalid video ID format — malformed request error
