## 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 blackbobs-ai-real-time-image-search-2814b1b3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for real-time images of 'golden retriever puppies playing in snow' and give me the results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, freshly fetched image results for a given keyword or phrase and want pay-per-call pricing without a subscription. Useful for agents that need current images rather than cached results, especially in workflows on Base chain using x402 micropayments.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing query returns no useful results
- Rate limiting or payment failure on Base chain blocks the call
- Ambiguous or very broad queries may return irrelevant images
- Network timeout if upstream image search provider is slow
- USDC payment insufficient or wallet not funded causes 402 rejection
