## 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 payweave-youtube-video-details-api-7a957681 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the details for this YouTube video — title, description, channel, view count, and whatever else is available? The URL is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically retrieve YouTube video metadata for a specific video URL without managing YouTube API keys or quota, especially in pay-per-use agent workflows where you only occasionally need video details and want simple per-call billing via x402/USDC.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed YouTube URL returns an error
- Private or deleted video returns no data or an error
- Video region-restricted content may return incomplete metadata
- Rate limits or upstream YouTube API issues may cause failures
- Missing videoUrl field in request body causes validation error

## How this service works
