## 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`):

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs to discover or retrieve video content based on natural language queries and is already operating within the WhatChuNeed x402 pay-per-call ecosystem. Useful when you want video search results without managing separate API keys for YouTube or Vimeo. Best suited for scenarios where broad video discovery is needed rather than platform-specific filtering.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or vague query may return irrelevant or no results
- Network timeout if upstream video search provider is slow
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient for the $0.15 per-call fee
- Upstream provider rate limiting may cause intermittent failures
- Overly broad queries may return low-relevance results
