## 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-f3e26108
```

Example prompt: Can you grab the full transcript of this YouTube video — the video ID is GPMiM0pe4zI — so I can read what was said?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the live, up-to-date transcript of a specific YouTube video by its video ID and want a pay-per-call approach without a subscription. Prefer this over YouTube's Data API when you need raw transcript text without OAuth or quota concerns, or when you're operating within an agentic workflow that already supports x402 micropayments.

## Known failure modes

- Video ID does not exist — returns an error or empty response
- Video has no captions or transcript available (e.g. no auto-generated or manual subtitles)
- YouTube rate limiting or access restrictions block the scrape
- Private or age-restricted video prevents transcript retrieval
- Invalid video ID format causes a bad request error
