## 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 stablesocial-youtube-channel-shorts-scraper-f74abd29 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull all the Shorts from the YouTube channel @MrBeast so I can see how many they've posted and get the video titles and view counts?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured Shorts-specific data from a YouTube channel without YouTube API quota constraints, especially for creator research, influencer marketing analysis, or competitive content benchmarking. Prefer this over the YouTube Data API when you need unrestricted scraping without OAuth or quota limits.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent YouTube channel identifier returns an error
- Channel has no Shorts posted returns empty list
- Rate limiting or scraping blocks from YouTube may cause failures
- Private or restricted channels may not return data
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the request
