## 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 meterly-ai-youtube-scraper-8d4b81d6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search YouTube for 'best sourdough bread tutorials' and pull back the top 10 results with their titles, URLs, and any available metadata.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically extract YouTube video or channel data without maintaining your own scraping infrastructure, and you want to pay per-call in USDC via the x402 protocol rather than managing an API key subscription. Best for agents that need on-demand YouTube data retrieval as part of a larger workflow.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unavailable YouTube URL returns error or empty result
- Query returns no matching videos
- YouTube rate limiting or blocking may cause scrape failures
- Username not found returns empty or error response
- Malformed input schema causes 400-level error
- Response schema is loosely typed (additionalProperties: true), so field availability may vary
