## 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 quantaflow-rapid-real-time-shorts-search-261d3d9c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for real-time YouTube Shorts about 'AI coding tutorials' and show me the latest results — I want to see what's trending right now in that topic.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time YouTube Shorts search results programmatically and want to pay per-call via x402 micropayments in USDC rather than managing a RapidAPI subscription. It is ideal for agents that perform sporadic or bursty short-form video searches without committing to a monthly API plan.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure if wallet has insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment is rejected
- Upstream API unavailability returning a non-200 passthrough error
- Invalid query parameters causing upstream bad request errors
- Rate limiting from the underlying RapidAPI Shorts search provider
- Malformed path or query object resulting in proxy routing errors
