## 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 24k-labs-image-blur-api-9799a2f0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you apply a Gaussian blur with a radius of 15 to this image so I can use it as a redaction backdrop?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, cost-effective Gaussian blur applied to an image — especially for redaction backdrops, privacy masking, or softening images before overlaying UI elements. Prefer this over full image editing suites when blur is the only transform needed and you want a lightweight, paid-per-call API with no setup.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported image format returns an error
- Blur radius out of acceptable range causes a validation error
- Malformed image URL or missing image payload returns a 400 error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 error
- Large images may exceed size limits and return a 413 error

## How this service works

Apply a Gaussian blur (useful for redaction backdrops) at a given radius.

## Output

Returns a blurred version of the input image, processed with a Gaussian blur at the specified radius, suitable for use as a redaction backdrop or privacy mask.
