## 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-scraper-via-stableapify-apidojo-youtube-scraper-4bddd9ab -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Scrape the YouTube channel for username 'mkbhd' — get up to 200 items and use 1024 MB memory — I need the video titles, URLs, and any available email address.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic, large-scale extraction of YouTube data — including channels, search results, playlists, or user profiles — especially when email discovery or bulk video metadata is required. Prefer over manual browsing or YouTube Data API when you need to bypass quota limits, scrape unlisted metadata, or extract data not exposed by the official API. Best suited for competitive intelligence, content auditing, influencer research, and SEO analysis workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent YouTube username returns empty dataset
- Actor run fails to start if memory limit is too low for the requested scrape scope
- Token expiry after 30 days makes dataset inaccessible
- Rate limits or YouTube blocks may result in partial data
- Missing required input fields causes actor initialization failure
- Exceeding maxItems limits may truncate results silently
