## 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 agent-tools-ocr-read-text-from-image-url-6a0e0c1a
```

Example prompt: Can you read all the text from this receipt image for me? Here's the URL: https://example.com/receipt.jpg — make sure to keep the line breaks.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you have a public image URL (PNG or JPEG) containing text you need to extract — such as receipts, signs, scanned pages, screenshots, or charts — and you need a fast, pay-per-call OCR result with line break fidelity. Especially suitable for agent pipelines where documents arrive as image URLs rather than uploaded files.

## Known failure modes

- Image URL is not publicly accessible (returns error)
- Image exceeds 10 MB size limit
- Unsupported image format (non-PNG/JPEG)
- Image contains no readable text (returns empty or minimal text)
- URL is malformed or unreachable
- Very low resolution or blurry image may yield incomplete extraction
