## 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 cortexcloud-image-to-image-transformation-dc6658bd
```

Example prompt: Take this photo of a city street (https://example.com/street.jpg) and transform it into a watercolor painting style using the stable-diffusion-xl model.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to transform or restyle an existing image using a text prompt without managing API keys or subscriptions — ideal for AI agents that can pay per-call in USDC via x402 on Base. Prefer this over text-to-image endpoints when you have a source image to build upon rather than generating from scratch.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible image URL returns an error
- Unsupported model name returns a model-not-found error
- Payment failure via x402 results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Malformed prompt or missing required fields returns a 400 Bad Request
- Model timeout or inference failure returns a 500 error

## How this service works

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the transformed image data (likely as a URL or base64-encoded image) generated by applying the text prompt to the source image using the specified AI model.
