## 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-playlist-scraper-6b2b3402
```

Example prompt: Can you pull all the videos from this YouTube playlist — the ID is PLrAXtmErZgOeiKm4sgNOknc9TTbo8zCXN — and give me the titles and video IDs?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically retrieve the contents of a YouTube playlist without YouTube API credentials or quota concerns. It is especially useful for agents that need to catalog, monitor, or analyze playlist contents in a lightweight, pay-per-call manner. Prefer this over direct YouTube Data API calls when you want to avoid managing OAuth tokens or API quotas.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent playlist_id returns an error or empty result
- Private or unlisted playlists may be inaccessible and return a permission error
- Very large playlists may return paginated results or be truncated
- YouTube rate limiting or anti-scraping measures may cause intermittent failures
- Missing playlist_id parameter results in a validation error
