## How to call it through Zero

Example prompt: Can you make a beautiful screenshot of this Python function for me? Use a dark theme and make it look clean enough to share on Twitter:

def greet(name):
    return f'Hello, {name}!'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to produce a visually polished, shareable image of a code snippet — for blog posts, social media, documentation, or presentations. It is pay-per-use with no subscription required, making it ideal for low-volume or on-demand agent workflows. Prefer this over server-side rendering pipelines when you need a quick, hosted screenshot solution with minimal setup.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing code content returns an error object
- Unsupported language or theme parameter may result in a default fallback or error
- Payment failure via x402 returns 402 status before processing
- Large or complex code snippets may time out or be truncated
- Malformed request body returns validation error
