## 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-details-93c4b100
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the full details for this YouTube video — title, description, view count, likes, and publish date — from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured metadata for a specific YouTube video or YouTube Short by ID or URL. Prefer this over general web scraping when you need clean, parsed video stats like view counts, likes, and channel info without handling raw HTML.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent video ID returns an error
- Private or deleted videos may return empty or error response
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in quick succession
- Malformed URL input may fail to resolve to a valid video
