## 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 ccc-studios-ascii-art-api-unicode-text-converter-adb8b62c
```

Example prompt: Can you convert the text 'HELLO WORLD' into ASCII art using a bold Unicode style?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to convert a short text string into visually stylized ASCII or Unicode art, especially when you want pay-per-use micropayment billing via x402 on Base rather than a subscription model. Ideal for creative tools, terminal UIs, social media bots, or any workflow that needs decorative text transformations on demand.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty text parameter returns error
- Unsupported or invalid style value may return default or error
- Payment failure (402) if x402 micropayment not processed correctly
- Rate limiting if too many requests in short succession
- Very long text strings may be truncated or rejected
