## 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 agentdata-ocr-api-d0c3a4fb -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you extract all the text from this screenshot for me? Here's the image URL: https://example.com/receipt.png — I need the exact text with line breaks preserved.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, pay-per-call OCR service with no account setup, no API key management, and no upload/polling workflow — just a single POST with an image URL or base64. Particularly well-suited for AI agents that need occasional OCR without committing to a subscription, and where the no-charge-on-no-text guarantee reduces cost risk. Prefer it over heavier vision APIs when you only need text extraction (not object detection or image analysis) and want USDC micropayment billing.

## Known failure modes

- 400 error with no charge when no text is found in the image
- Image exceeds 5 MB size limit causing rejection
- Unsupported image format (only PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF accepted)
- Invalid or inaccessible image URL
- Malformed base64 input causing parsing failure
- Payment failure via x402/USDC preventing the call from completing

## How this service works

OCR for AI agents, $0.20 per image: scans, photos and screenshots (PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, max 5 MB) to exact text with line breaks and reading order preserved. One call: send a url or base64 — no upload step, no polling. No text found means a 400 and you pay nothing. USDC on Base, no account, no API key.

## Output

Returns the extracted text content from the image with original line breaks and reading order preserved. If no text is detected in the image, returns a 400 error and no charge is applied. On success, delivers the full verbatim text as found in the image.
