## 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 radar-youtube-shorts-clip-finder-de01102d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Find the 5 best moments from this YouTube interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF8uR6Z6KLc) that would work as YouTube Shorts — each clip between 20 and 60 seconds, in English, with SRT subtitles included, and add the hashtag #podcast to each suggestion.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need automated, scored short-clip extraction from YouTube content at scale — especially for content teams repurposing long-form video into Shorts, Reels, or TikToks. It is particularly strong when you need SRT subtitles auto-generated per clip and want to filter by virality score. Prefer this over manual timestamp tools when processing multiple videos, playlists, or entire channels in a single call and paying only for results returned.

## Known failure modes

- Video URL is private, age-restricted, or unavailable — no results returned and no charge
- No captions available in the requested language — falls back to any available language or returns empty
- Video has no segments meeting the minViralityScore threshold — returns empty items array
- Invalid or malformed YouTube URL or channel handle — API returns error
- maxItems or clipsPerVideo limits too low to return any results given virality filtering
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 — request rejected before processing

## How this service works

Data APIs (leads, jobs, YouTube, Reddit, Trends, SEC, tenders...). POST JSON, pay per call in USDC on Base via x402. Charged only when results are returned.

## Output

A JSON object containing a count of clips found and an array of clip result objects, each including start and end timestamps, a virality score, clip metadata, optional SRT subtitle content timed from zero, and suggested hashtags — returned only when results are available (charge is only applied when clips are found).
