## 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-media-downloader-c552aa63 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you download this YouTube video for me — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ — I need a direct downloadable link to the video file.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a programmatic, pay-per-request way to obtain downloadable media links from YouTube without managing your own scraping infrastructure. It is well-suited for agents automating content pipelines, archival workflows, or one-off user download requests where spinning up a self-hosted solution is impractical.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent YouTube URL returns an error
- Geo-restricted or private videos may not be downloadable
- Age-restricted content may fail without credentials
- YouTube anti-scraping measures may cause intermittent failures
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion on the underlying provider
