## 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-search-747924b2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search YouTube for 'beginner Python tutorials' and give me the top video results including titles, channel names, and links.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic YouTube search results without managing your own YouTube Data API quota or credentials. Prefer this over direct YouTube API calls when operating in a pay-per-use, agent-driven context using USDC on Base chain, especially if you want to avoid API key management overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or overly broad query returns irrelevant results
- Query in an unsupported language may yield poor results
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion may cause failures
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) results in 402 error
- YouTube API backend outage causes downstream failure
- Malformed request body returns 4xx error
