## 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-details-fetcher-3e55ff74 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the details for this YouTube video — dQw4w9WgXcQ — I want to know the title, description, channel, and how many views it has?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured metadata for a known YouTube video identified by its ID or URL. Prefer this over general web scraping when you specifically need YouTube video details, as it provides clean structured output. Best suited for single-video lookups; if you need search results or channel-level data, look for dedicated search or channel endpoints.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent video ID returns an error or empty result
- Private or deleted videos may not return data
- Malformed video URL that cannot be parsed into a valid video ID
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the request
- Rate limiting or upstream YouTube API restrictions
