## 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 aispace-background-removal-7cf45728 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you remove the background from this product photo so I just have the item on a transparent background?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need privacy-preserving background removal powered by Venice.ai (data never leaves your device per their policy) and you're already operating within the AiSpace/x402 payment ecosystem using USDC micropayments. It's a good fit for agents automating e-commerce image pipelines, design workflows, or content creation where transparent backgrounds are needed at low per-call cost.

## Known failure modes

- Image URL not accessible or malformed — returns error
- Unsupported image format — processing fails
- Image too large or resolution too high — may time out or return error
- Subject detection fails on complex or ambiguous scenes — background not cleanly removed
- Payment not processed or insufficient USDC balance — 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Remove the background from an image and return a transparent PNG, paid per request in USDC on Base via x402, no API key. Send `image` (base64) or `image_url` (HTTPS), not both. Optional `model` is used for pricing then stripped before proxy.

## Output

Returns a JSON response with an ok boolean indicating success, along with the processed image data with the background removed, leaving the subject isolated — typically as a transparent PNG or similar format ready for compositing or download.
