## 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 402claw-cloud-e0418882 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate an image of a futuristic city skyline at sunset using the Z-Image API — I'm okay paying $0.03 USDC per call via x402.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need on-demand, pay-per-use image generation without a subscription, especially when your agent is already set up to handle x402 micropayment flows with USDC. Ideal for low-volume or sporadic image generation needs where paying $0.03 per call is preferable to maintaining a recurring API subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance — payment fails and image is not generated
- Invalid x402 payment header — returns 402 Payment Required
- Malformed prompt or missing required image parameters — returns 400 Bad Request
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded — returns 429 Too Many Requests
- Service unavailable — returns 503 with no image output

## How this service works

Payment for API Access: Z-Image

## Output

Returns a generated or processed image (likely as image data, a URL, or base64-encoded content) after deducting $0.03 USDC via the x402 micropayment protocol from the caller's wallet.
