## 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 art-commission-quote-api-ddee8837 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you get me a fair price estimate for a digital character illustration commission — full body, commercial licensing, 2 revisions, standard turnaround, with roughly $20 in software expenses?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a data-driven, structured price estimate for art or illustration commissions — especially when factoring in commercial licensing, revision counts, rush fees, or expense reimbursement. Prefer this over generic freelance rate calculators when the user is specifically in the visual art or illustration domain and needs a defensible, itemized quote.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required body fields returns a validation error
- Unrecognized project type or licensing enum value may cause a 400 error
- Extremely unusual scope combinations may produce low-confidence estimates
- Network timeout if the computation service is overloaded

## How this service works

Estimate fair art and illustration commission prices from project type, scope, licensing, revisions, rush timing, and expenses.

## Output

Returns an estimated price or price range for the art commission, factoring in project type, scope complexity, licensing tier, number of included revisions, rush timing surcharges, and any additional expenses. May include a breakdown of how each factor contributes to the final quote.
