## 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 socialfetch-youtube-playlist-lookup-b495b555
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the details and video list for this YouTube playlist? The playlist ID is PLbpi6ZahtOH6Ar_3GPy3workpGRMfQ5_U.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve playlist-level metadata and video listings from YouTube given a playlist ID or playlist URL. Prefer this over general YouTube search endpoints when you already have the playlist identifier and need structured playlist data without manual scraping.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed playlist ID returns an error
- Playlist is private or deleted and cannot be accessed
- Missing required playlistId query parameter returns a validation error
- Rate limiting or payment failure results in a 402 response
- YouTube API backend is unavailable causing a timeout

## How this service works
