## 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-youtube138-api-ce8efa6f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the YouTube video or channel details for me — search for recent videos about electric vehicles and return the titles, view counts, and upload dates?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need YouTube data (video info, channel stats, search results) and want to pay per request in USDC on Base chain without managing a YouTube API key yourself. It is convenient for agents operating in crypto-native payment environments using the x402 protocol.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing YouTube ID/query parameters returns a generic error response
- YouTube API rate limits upstream may cause 429-style failures
- Ambiguous or overly broad queries may return empty result sets
- Incorrect input schema causes a malformed request error
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) blocks the request before reaching YouTube
