## 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 youtube-channel-info-videos-fetcher-c0502c2a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the channel info and latest videos for the YouTube channel @mkbhd — I want to see their metadata and first page of uploads.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured YouTube channel metadata and video listings in a single call, especially for agentic workflows that paginate through large video catalogs cost-efficiently using parentRequestId continuation. Prefer it over direct YouTube Data API calls when operating within an x402 micropayment environment or when you need a managed, pay-per-call interface without managing API keys.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent channel handle/ID returns an error or empty result
- Missing channelIdentifier field causes a validation error
- Expired or invalid nextPageToken breaks pagination
- Changing filter parameters between paginated calls starts a new billable request
- Rate limiting or upstream YouTube API quota exhaustion may cause failures

## How this service works

Fetches YouTube channel info and paginated videos. Pagination billing: call the first page normally and save billing.requestId from the Orthogonal /v1/run response. For later page, offset, or cursor calls on the same logical search, pass parentRequestId with unchanged non-pagination parameters. Valid continuation calls still get their own request IDs and quoted price, but are charged 0. Changing filters starts a new billable request.

## Output

Returns YouTube channel metadata (name, description, subscriber count, thumbnails, etc.) and a paginated list of videos with titles, IDs, thumbnails, and publish dates. Includes a nextPageToken for fetching subsequent pages at no additional charge when using parentRequestId continuation billing.
