## 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-video-lookup-4fc62632 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Look up the video metadata — title, view count, publish date, and description — for these three YouTube videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ, https://youtu.be/jNQXAC9IVRw, and 9bZkp7q19f0. Deduplicate any repeats and return up to 50 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to bulk-resolve YouTube video metadata (titles, stats, dates, descriptions) from a mix of URL formats or raw video IDs. It handles all YouTube URL variants (watch, youtu.be, Shorts, embed, live) and supports deduplication and cost-capping via maxItems. Prefer it over scraping or the official YouTube Data API when you want a pay-per-result model with no quota management.

## Known failure modes

- Private or deleted videos return an error row (only if includeFailedRows is true, otherwise silently omitted)
- Invalid video IDs or malformed URLs return error status rows
- Exceeding maxItems cap silently stops processing after the limit
- Payment not completed results in no charge and no results returned
- Network or upstream YouTube data unavailability may cause partial results

## 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

Returns a JSON object with a count and an array of video result objects, each containing video metadata such as title, view count, publish date, and optionally the full description. Failed rows (private/deleted/invalid) are included only if includeFailedRows is enabled.
