## 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 scrape-creators-youtube-hashtag-search-4b28762f
```

Example prompt: Can you pull all the YouTube videos tagged with #MorningRoutine so I can see what content is trending under that hashtag?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover or aggregate YouTube videos associated with a specific hashtag, especially for content research, trend monitoring, influencer discovery, or competitive analysis on YouTube. Prefer this over generic YouTube search when hashtag-scoped results are specifically needed.
