## 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 social-scanner-api-youtube-search-9fe181d7
```

Example prompt: Search YouTube for videos about Solana and give me the results with engagement scores — I want to see what the crypto community is saying about it right now.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need YouTube-specific social signal data for a crypto topic, especially when engagement scoring and multi-video result aggregation are needed. Prefer over generic YouTube search when crypto context and engagement metrics are the primary goal.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'q' parameter returns 400 or validation error
- Empty results array if no YouTube content found for the query
- Payment not completed (402 error) if x402 payment header is missing or invalid
- YouTube API quota exhaustion causing 503 or empty response
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in quick succession
