## 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-53967f6f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the metadata for this YouTube video — title, view count, channel name, and publish date? Here's the video ID: dQw4w9WgXcQ

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need YouTube video or channel metadata without setting up your own YouTube Data API credentials, and you are comfortable paying $0.13 USDC per call on the Base chain. It is ideal for agents that need occasional YouTube lookups without managing API keys or quota.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent video ID returns an error or empty result
- Payment failure on Base chain results in 402 response and no data returned
- YouTube API quota limits on the provider side may cause temporary failures
- Malformed request body returns a 400-level error
- Private or deleted videos may return no metadata
