## 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 kiteendpoints-ai-video-transcript-api-e7fbcd82 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the full transcript from this YouTube video — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ — so I can read through what was said?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract the spoken or captioned text from a video — especially YouTube videos — without performing local audio transcription. It is ideal for summarization, quote extraction, translation pipelines, or accessibility workflows where the original video has existing captions or auto-generated subtitles.

## Known failure modes

- Video URL not recognized or unsupported platform
- Video has no available captions or transcript
- Private or age-restricted video that cannot be accessed
- Invalid or malformed video ID/URL
- Rate limiting or payment failure (402 response)
- Transcript unavailable in the requested language
