## 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 agentrxi-barcode-qr-code-reader-b70182a6
```

Example prompt: Can you scan this product image and tell me what the barcode says? Here's the URL: https://example.com/product-label.jpg

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to decode any standard 1D or 2D barcode or QR code from an image, especially when multiple symbologies may be present or the symbology type is unknown. It handles a wide range of formats (QR, EAN, UPC, Code 128/39/93, Codabar, ITF, DataBar, PDF417) in a single call, making it ideal for retail, logistics, document scanning, and inventory workflows where the barcode format is not guaranteed.

## Known failure modes

- Image URL not accessible or returns non-image content
- Image exceeds 20 MB size limit
- No barcodes detected in the image
- Barcode is too blurry, damaged, or partially obscured to decode
- Unsupported image format
- Base64 payload malformed or missing extension hint

## How this service works

Read every barcode and QR code in an image: QR, EAN-13/8, UPC-A/E, Code 128/39/93, Codabar, ITF, DataBar and PDF417, with the symbology and decoded text. Also callable as GET with the same fields as query parameters.

## Output

Returns a list of detected barcodes, each with its symbology (e.g. QR, EAN-13, UPC-A, Code 128, PDF417, etc.) and the decoded text or data it contains. Supports multiple codes detected in a single image.
