## 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-dca31a2f -d '<json body>'
```

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

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need YouTube video or channel data without managing your own YouTube Data API credentials or quota, and you prefer pay-per-request USDC micropayments over monthly API subscriptions. It is well-suited for agents that make sporadic or low-volume YouTube lookups without committing to a full API plan.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent video/channel ID returns empty or error result
- Payment failure in USDC on Base chain prevents request from being processed
- YouTube API quota exceeded on the backend causes request failure
- Malformed POST body returns a generic error response
- Private or deleted videos may return no data or partial metadata
