## 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 manylives-channel-sameness-check-fccc9cd5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Check these 5 video scripts from my kids' YouTube channel for near-duplicate content and repetitive title patterns — here are the titles and scripts in order from newest to oldest.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to detect near-duplicate video scripts or repetitive title patterns across a batch of 3–50 uploads — especially for YouTube channels, content libraries, or scriptwriting workflows where over-repetition is a quality or monetization risk. Prefer this over generic text-diff tools because it returns channel-level aggregate signals (sameness rating, title pattern, mean similarity) alongside pairwise duplicate pairs in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Fewer than 3 uploads provided — minimum input size not met
- Uploads list exceeds 50 items — maximum batch size exceeded
- Missing both script and description fields — no text to compare
- Non-string or malformed upload objects cause parsing errors
- Very short scripts may produce unreliable similarity scores

## How this service works

Pay-per-call tools for people building AI agents: live web search and page contents, prompt-injection checks, market data and risk sizing for trading agents, company profiles and quick AI. Ask us to turn a public website into a JSON endpoint. Pay per call, no account, free trial.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: total number of uploads analyzed, a sameness rating (e.g. 'high', 'low'), mean similarity score across all pairs, list of near-duplicate pairs with pairwise similarity scores, a title_pattern object showing repeated words and what share of titles match, and a findings array with plain-English summaries of the most important patterns detected.
