## 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-media-downloader-fe02d3d7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Download this YouTube video for me — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ — and give me a link to grab the MP4 file.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to programmatically obtain a downloadable media file or stream link from a YouTube video URL, especially in workflows requiring offline video access, audio extraction, or media pipeline integration. Best suited for single-video download tasks rather than bulk or playlist operations.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unavailable YouTube URL returns an error result
- Private or age-restricted videos may fail to retrieve
- Geographic restrictions may block certain content
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded if too many requests are made
- YouTube API changes may cause temporary breakage
- Video deleted or removed results in a not-found error
