## 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-video-analytics-55e8978e
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the analytics for this YouTube video — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ — and tell me its view count, likes, comments, and when it was published?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, no-account, no-API-key access to YouTube video analytics via a simple micropayment. Ideal for agents that need on-demand video stats without managing YouTube API credentials or quota limits. Prefer this over the official YouTube Data API when simplicity and pay-per-use economics matter more than bulk access or OAuth-gated features.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed video URL or ID returns an error indicating the input could not be parsed
- Private or deleted videos return a not-found or access-denied error
- YouTube rate limiting or downstream API outages may cause transient failures
- Videos with restricted regions may return partial or no analytics
- USDC payment failure on Base mainnet prevents the call from completing
