## 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-oembed-68fc83bd
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the oEmbed metadata for this YouTube video — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ — I need the title, thumbnail URL, and embed HTML?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick oEmbed metadata for a YouTube video URL without setting up YouTube Data API credentials. It's useful for agents that need to embed videos or build preview cards on demand, paying per call at $0.002 USDC rather than managing API keys.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-YouTube URL returns an error or empty response
- Private or deleted YouTube videos may return 401 or 404 from the underlying API
- Payment failure (x402) results in no data returned
- Rate limiting or upstream YouTube API unavailability causes timeout
- Malformed URL input may cause a parsing error
