## 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 sitecheck-shop-social-youtube-channel-info-2f06b251
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the public info for the YouTube channel @MrBeast — I want their subscriber count, country, any external links they've listed, and any email addresses in their About page description?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, structured public metadata from a YouTube channel's About page — especially for influencer research, contact discovery, or social profiling — without needing authenticated YouTube Data API access or handling YouTube's own API quotas. It is particularly useful when looking for publicly listed emails and cross-platform links that creators include in their About section.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent channel handle returns an error or empty result
- Handle with special characters outside allowed set (3-30 letters, digits, . _ -) may fail validation
- YouTube page structure changes could break extraction and return incomplete data
- Channels with no public About page info return empty fields
- Rate limiting or blocking by YouTube could result in failed fetch
- Hidden 'view email' addresses behind CAPTCHA are never returned

## How this service works

Pay-per-call e-commerce, product, price and social media data tools for AI agents, from public sources. Payment: x402, USDC on Base, Solana, Arc, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad, World Chain, Optimism, Avalanche, Celo or Stellar, or RLUSD/XRP on the XRP Ledger. No signup, no API key; a failed call is not charged.

## Output

A JSON object containing the channel handle, channel ID, URL, description, country, subscriber count, view count, video count, a list of external links (with URL, display text, and title), any publicly listed email addresses, the source URL checked, and a timestamp of when the data was retrieved.
