## 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 citiview-static-map-image-generator-ef83b801
```

Example prompt: Can you generate a 800x600 static map image centered on downtown Chicago in the dark-matter style at zoom level 13, with markers for the Willis Tower and Millennium Park, and give me the data URL so I can paste it into my report?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a ready-to-embed static map image (base64/data URL) for reports, emails, PDFs, or chat messages — especially when you want multi-marker numbered pins or a specific visual style like dark-matter or toner. Prefer this over interactive map libraries when the consumer cannot render JavaScript, or when you need a portable image rather than a live map widget.

## Known failure modes

- Unrecognized place name returns an error or blank map — use explicit lat,lon for precision
- More than 15 markers supplied causes a validation error
- Width or height exceeding 1600px is rejected
- Invalid style enum value results in a bad request error
- Malformed marker string (wrong separator or format) may silently drop markers or error
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

Static map image (JPEG) of a place or up to 15 numbered markers, in 7 styles and any size up to 1600 px, returned as base64 and a data URL ready for reports, emails and chat.

## Output

Returns a JPEG static map image encoded as base64 along with a ready-to-use data URL (e.g. 'data:image/jpeg;base64,...'). The image can be up to 1600px in either dimension, rendered in one of 7 styles (osm-bright, osm-carto, positron, dark-matter, toner, klokantech-basic), centered on a named place or coordinates, and optionally annotated with up to 15 numbered markers at specified places or lat/lon pairs.
