## 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 bitcoin-benji-ai-table-transcription-l402-6ce0b2fa -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I have a screenshot of a pricing table — can you transcribe it into structured JSON so I can use the data programmatically?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract structured tabular data from images or documents using a pay-per-call Lightning-native model with no API key setup. It is well-suited for agents that handle Bitcoin/Lightning payments natively and need ad-hoc table transcription without subscription overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Image is too low resolution or blurry to parse table structure
- Input contains no recognizable tabular data, returning empty or error response
- Complex merged cells or nested tables may be partially or incorrectly transcribed
- Payment via Lightning L402 fails or invoice expires before confirmation
- Unsupported image format or corrupted file returns a 400 error

## How this service works

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the transcribed table with identified column headers and rows of structured data extracted from the input image or document.

## Response schema (JSON Schema)
