## 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-v2-api-dc31e0bd -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the metadata for this YouTube video — title, view count, description, and thumbnail — for video ID dQw4w9WgXcQ?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need YouTube video or channel metadata without setting up your own YouTube Data API credentials, and are comfortable paying $0.15 USDC per call via Base chain. Useful for one-off lookups or when building agents that need YouTube data without managing API keys.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent YouTube video ID returns empty or error result
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion from underlying YouTube API
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the request
- Malformed request body returns 400-level error
- Private or deleted videos return no data
