## 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-hashtag-search-100bc4f5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search YouTube for all videos tagged with #travelitaly and give me the results — include both regular videos and Shorts.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need YouTube hashtag search results without a Google/YouTube API key, want to avoid YouTube Data API quota limits, or need access to both regular videos and Shorts filtered by hashtag. Prefer this over YouTube's official API when cost-per-call economics fit your use case and you need no authentication setup.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or empty hashtag returns an error
- Invalid content type enum value causes a bad request
- YouTube anti-scraping measures may cause intermittent failures or empty results
- Expired or invalid continuation token may return an error or restart pagination
- Payment failure (non-402-compliant client) blocks the request entirely

## How this service works

Pay-per-request access to social media data from TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and LinkedIn. No auth, no subscriptions.

## Output

A list of YouTube videos matching the given hashtag, including video metadata (titles, thumbnails, view counts, channel info, etc.) and a continuation token for fetching the next page of results.
