## 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-a3979256 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you search YouTube for videos about 'beginner Python programming tutorials' and give me the top results?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic YouTube search results without managing your own YouTube Data API quota or credentials. Ideal for agents that need to discover video content on demand and can pay per request in USDC. Prefer this over direct YouTube API integration when you want a simple pay-per-use model without API key management.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or vague query returns irrelevant or no results
- Query in an unsupported language may return poor results
- Rate limits or upstream YouTube API restrictions may cause failures
- Payment failure in USDC on Base chain will block the request
- Malformed request body may return an error
- Highly restrictive or very niche queries may return few results
