## 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 x402vid-shorts-intelligence-3dc38343 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Find me the breakout YouTube Shorts about 'AI productivity tools' — sample around 10 videos and give me a full intelligence report on what's trending.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need AI-synthesized intelligence on YouTube Shorts specifically — not long-form YouTube videos or other short-form platforms. It is ideal for content strategy research, trend discovery, and competitive analysis in short-form video. It is best suited for agents that need a structured report rather than raw video metadata, and that can pay per call in USDC without a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or empty search_term returns an error
- num_videos exceeding max of 12 may be rejected or capped
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) results in 402 response
- No Shorts found for obscure or very niche search terms
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion on the underlying YouTube data source
- Muse Spark model unavailability causing 5xx errors
