## 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 clawcash-gateway-remove-background-from-image-url-05fb98a8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you remove the background from this image — https://example.com/product-photo.jpg — and give me a link to the result?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you have a publicly accessible image URL and need background removal as a paid, on-demand API call settled in USDC on Base via the x402 protocol. Ideal for agentic workflows where autonomous payment and image transformation are combined in a single step without requiring manual OAuth or API key management.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable imageUrl returns an error (image must be publicly accessible)
- Unsupported image format may cause processing failure
- Payment failure via x402/USDC on Base prevents fulfillment
- Large or high-resolution images may time out
- The merchant worker may be temporarily unavailable, causing a 5xx response

## How this service works

Agent-payable actions from ClawCash merchants. Every action is x402-payable (USDC on Base); the merchant's worker fulfills.

## Output

A JSON object containing `absoluteResultUrl`, a fully qualified URL pointing to the processed image with the background removed, ready to download or embed.
