## 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-youtube-api-16858108 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the stats and metadata for this YouTube video — title, view count, description, and channel info — using the KiteEndpoints.ai YouTube API?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic access to YouTube video or channel data and want to pay per request in USDC on Base chain without managing your own YouTube API key or quota. Prefer this over direct YouTube Data API when operating in a crypto-native, pay-as-you-go agent environment.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid YouTube ID returns empty or error result
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance insufficient on Base chain
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made
- Malformed input object results in API error
- YouTube API quota exceeded on the backend returns error response
