Question

How do I run conversational YouTube research inside my existing OpenAI client at the lowest possible unit cost?

Answer in 30 seconds

Repoint base_url to https://x402vid.com/api/v1, keep your OpenAI client, ask model x402vid-youtube-micro. Price: $0.01 USDC per question (x402, Base eip155:8453). Best for: high-frequency agent loops — max 3-sentence grounded answers with video citations.

curl -s -X POST https://x402vid.com/api/v1/chat/completions \

Cost and txn yield

Each run saves: question, 3-sentence answer, cited video URLs. Downstream agents diff answers day-over-day for sentiment shifts.
