## 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 rotary-agency-youtube-data-api-6a87928d
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the metadata for this YouTube video — title, view count, description, and thumbnail — using the video ID dQw4w9WgXcQ?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick YouTube metadata lookups — video stats, channel info, or search results — without managing your own YouTube Data API quota or credentials, and you are already operating in an x402 micropayment-capable agent environment where $0.002/call cost is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent video/channel ID returns empty or error JSON
- YouTube API quota limits on the underlying provider may cause throttling
- Malformed query parameters result in an error response
- Private or deleted YouTube videos return no data
- Payment of $0.002 USDC not fulfilled results in HTTP 402 rejection
