## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-web3identity-com-6a0efd73
```

Example prompt: What's the avatar image URL for vitalik.eth — I want to display their ENS profile picture in my app.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to display or reference the profile avatar of a Web3 user identified by their ENS name or Ethereum address. Prefer it over general ENS resolution endpoints when you specifically need the avatar/profile image rather than address records or other text records.

## Known failure modes

- ENS name does not exist or is not registered — returns null or 404
- No avatar record set on the ENS name — returns empty or null URL
- Invalid ENS name format — returns validation error
- Ethereum address has no associated ENS reverse record or avatar — returns null
- Rate limiting or payment failure — returns 402 or 429 error
