## 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-data-api-f50e6ae1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the YouTube video with ID dQw4w9WgXcQ and tell me its title, view count, likes, and description?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic, pay-per-request access to YouTube metadata without managing your own YouTube Data API quota or credentials. Ideal for agents that occasionally need YouTube data without committing to a subscription, or when paying per call in USDC on Base chain is preferred over managing API keys.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent video/channel ID returns an error or empty result
- Insufficient USDC balance causes payment failure (402 response)
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion on the underlying YouTube Data API
- Malformed input object causes request rejection
- YouTube API changes may cause proxy to return stale or incomplete data
