## 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 agentpay-translation-pay-per-call-text-translation-via-x402-6cdcca66 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Translate this text into Spanish: 'Welcome to our service, we're glad you're here.' Charge my USDC wallet the per-call fee — no account needed.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, on-demand text translation without setting up accounts, API keys, or subscriptions — especially in autonomous agent workflows where per-call micropayments in USDC on Base are preferable to managing credentials. It is ideal for sporadic or low-volume translation tasks where paying $0.03 per call is more practical than committing to a SaaS plan.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 payment results in a 402 Payment Required response with no translation returned
- Unsupported target language code may result in an error or unexpected output
- Malformed or empty input text may return an error or empty translation
- Network timeout on the Base blockchain payment confirmation can delay or fail the call
- Ambiguous or very long input text may produce degraded translation quality

## How this service works

Pay-per-call AI services via the 402 Payment Required protocol. No accounts, no API keys — just USDC on Base.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the translated text as a string and the target language label (e.g. 'Spanish'). The response confirms what language the input was translated into alongside the translation output.
