Endpoint
GEThttps://youtube.fetcher.sh/api/shorts/%7Bid%7D?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need YouTube Shorts-specific metadata without setting up a YouTube Data API account or OAuth credentials, especially in agent workflows requiring pay-per-call micro-payments via USDC. Ideal for one-off lookups, automated pipelines, or environments where managing Google API keys is impractical.

- Deleted or private Shorts return an error or empty response
- YouTube anti-scraping changes may cause temporary failures
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) returns 402 Payment Required
