## 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-downloader-api-53e1b6c7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you get me a download link for this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ — I want the video file, not just the metadata.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically download or extract a direct stream URL from a YouTube video, especially when operating within an x402 micropayment-enabled agent workflow. Best suited for single video download requests rather than bulk scraping.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported YouTube URL returns error response
- RapidAPI sub-endpoint path not recognized returns 400 or empty result
- Payment of 0.15 USDC not completed results in 402 Payment Required
- Video unavailable or region-locked returns no download links
- Missing or malformed params object causes query failure
