## 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-image-variations-generator-173a5a38 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you generate a few AI variations of this image for me? I want to see different creative takes on the same composition — use this source image and give me some alternatives.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need AI-generated variations of an existing image without setting up your own OpenAI account or API keys. Ideal for agents that need quick image remixing capabilities and can pay per-call in USDC on Base. Best when you already have a source image and want creative alternatives rather than generating from a text prompt.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing image input returns 400 error
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC returns 402 error
- Image format not supported causes processing failure
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded on underlying AI provider
- Large images may time out or exceed size limits
- Upstream OpenAI API failure cascades to 500 error
