## 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 apexapi-barcode-generator-0c23c302 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a barcode for the product code '8901234567890' so I can print it on my inventory label.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically generate a barcode image from a string, product code, or numeric value — especially when no API key setup is desired and pay-per-call USDC billing on Base is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or empty input string returns an error response
- Unsupported barcode format or characters cause generation failure
- Payment failure via x402 results in 402 response before generation
- Server timeout on the Vercel deployment returns a 500 or 504 error
