## 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 ddg-screenshot-service-df9f35cd -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you take a screenshot of https://example.com and give me the rendered image?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pay-per-call, no-subscription screenshot service that settles instantly via USDC on-chain (x402 protocol). It is ideal for AI agents that need bounded, per-result web capture without managing provider accounts or API keys. Prefer this over headless browser setups when you want a simple HTTP POST with crypto micropayment and a rendered image artifact back.

## Known failure modes

- Target URL unreachable or returns an error — screenshot may fail or return a blank/error page render
- Invalid or malformed URL input — likely 400-level error response
- Payment failure via x402 — 402 Payment Required returned if USDC payment is not settled
- Timeout if the target page is slow to load — partial or failed render
- Rate limiting or infrastructure issues on DDG side — service unavailable

## How this service works

Machine-payable DDG services for AI agents. Current public live payment rails are x402 multi-chain USDC and direct-crypto auto/manual for public receiving-address families. MPP/Stripe/Tempo is installed but pending live provider env plus penny-settlement proof before any MPP-live advertisement. DDG sells bounded artifacts/results, not raw provider account access.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an 'ok' boolean and the screenshot artifact (rendered image) of the requested URL, captured at call time.
