# Sna4an YouTube Data API v2

> Sna4an YouTube Data API v2 is a paid API for AI agents from sna4an-social.vercel.app, paid per call via x402, $0.135/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

## 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 sna4an-youtube-data-api-v2-3ea341fd -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you search YouTube for the top videos about 'machine learning tutorials' and give me the titles, view counts, and channel names for the first 10 results?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic access to YouTube data (video info, channel stats, search results, comments, trends) without managing a YouTube Data API key or quota. Prefer this over direct YouTube API calls when operating in an agent context that supports x402 micropayments and you want pay-as-you-go access at $0.135 per call. Best suited for one-off lookups or low-to-medium volume enrichment tasks.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported RapidAPI sub-endpoint path returns an error or empty response
- Missing required query parameters (e.g. video ID, search query) cause downstream API errors
- Payment not settled via x402 protocol results in 402 response and no data returned
- RapidAPI rate limits or quota exhaustion cause upstream failures
- YouTube content region-locked or removed returns empty or error payload
- Malformed params object causes request parsing failure
