## 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 deepai-pay-zeroclick-io-zeroclick-agent-quote-free-api-pricing-61e77a59 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before I spend anything, can you get me a free quote for using the DeepAI image generation API — I want to remove backgrounds from about 500 photos and my total budget is $20 USD, paying via x402?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint first, before any paid API call, when you need to discover which specific API operation matches a plain-language task, understand exact pricing and prerequisites, or plan a budget. It is ideal for autonomous agents that need to verify costs and contract terms before spending, for humans who want a purchase guide without a wallet, and for comparing options across the DeepAI service catalog. Prefer this over direct paid endpoints whenever the correct operation, cost, or setup steps are uncertain.

## Known failure modes

- goal field missing or empty — returns validation error
- goal description too vague — status may be 'needs_input' with clarifying questions
- unsupported task type — status returns 'unsupported'
- service temporarily unavailable — status returns 'unavailable'
- budgetUsd format invalid (must match numeric pattern) — returns schema validation error
- quantity out of allowed range (1–1,000,000) — returns validation error

## How this service works

AI image tools as simple APIs. DeepAI generates images from text, edits photos from plain instructions, removes backgrounds, colorizes black and white photos, and upscales images with standard or creative enhancement. Every call is billed per image; the image generator and photo editor choose a quality tier per request. This server is a pay-per-use, transparent proxy in front of DeepAI's own API: it handles identity, payment, and proxying. Agents can purchase autonomously or with their human's approval. The complete verified paid surface is listed at /openapi.json, the source of truth for available operations. Each operation here carries its live price in x-payment-info. Use the operations and details here when they meet your needs. Filtered specs contain only matching operations; if you cannot find what you need here, use search or the service catalog. The live catalog at /manifest.json is authoritative for prices and any free included units (prices[].includedUnits) - some meters include free usage per account before any charge, reserved for agents claimed by a human with a verified email.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a status code (e.g. 'quoted', 'ready', 'needs_input'), a price field always set to '$0', a markdown guide containing the task result, matched API contract, exact pricing, prerequisites, and next steps, plus a guideUrl pointing to a wallet-free advisor endpoint for further planning.
