## 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`):

- Payment failure — insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment rejected
- Rate limiting — too many requests in a short period
- Invalid input — missing or malformed channel identifier
- YouTube API quota exceeded upstream — service temporarily unavailable
