## 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-video-comments-scraper-1f72caba
```

Example prompt: Can you pull all the comments from this YouTube video — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ — so I can see what viewers are saying about it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to extract comments from a specific YouTube video for purposes such as sentiment analysis, audience research, content moderation review, or competitive intelligence. Prefer this over manual scraping or the official YouTube Data API when you need a simple pay-per-call model without OAuth setup.

## Known failure modes

- Video not found or invalid video URL/ID returns an error
- Private or restricted video returns access denied error
- Video with comments disabled returns empty or error response
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in quick succession
- Network timeout for videos with extremely large comment volumes
