Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-video-comments-55547222
```

Example prompt: Pull the top comments from the YouTube video with ID dQw4w9WgXcQ — I want to see the authors, how many likes each comment got, and what people are saying.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, structured access to the top-level public comments of a single YouTube video without managing YouTube API quotas or authentication. It is ideal for sentiment analysis, engagement research, or monitoring audience reaction to a specific video. It is not suitable if you need paginated comment access beyond the first ~20, reply threads, or comments from multiple videos in bulk.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent video ID returns an empty list or error
- Comments disabled on the video returns an empty list
- Private or deleted video returns an error or empty response
- Only the first page (~20 comments) is returned — later pages and reply threads are not accessible
- Network or scraping failures on YouTube's side may return empty or partial results

## How this service works

Payment: x402, USDC on Base, Solana, Arc, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad, World Chain, Optimism, Avalanche, Celo or Stellar, or RLUSD/XRP on the XRP Ledger.

## Output

A list of up to ~20 top-level comments from the specified YouTube video. Each comment entry includes the author's display name, whether the author is verified, whether the author is the video creator, the comment text, a like count string, a reply count string, and an age/timestamp string. If comments are disabled or the video has no comments, an empty list is returned.
