## 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 delx-commerce-image-generation-api-9dbdda22 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate an image of a futuristic city skyline at sunset with neon lights, in 16:9 aspect ratio, using the balanced quality profile.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pay-per-call image generation API with no API key or subscription, verifiable delivery via SHA256, exact USDC pricing, and Flux model quality. Ideal for autonomous AI agents that need to pay for individual image generations on-demand using x402 on Base or Solana without pre-registration.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or empty prompt returns validation error
- Unsupported model enum value returns 400
- Payment not completed via x402 results in 402 response requiring USDC payment
- Prompt policy violation (e.g. disallowed content) may result in rejection
- Aspect ratio enum mismatch causes 400 bad request
- Upstream Replicate provider outage causes delayed or failed generation

## How this service works

Pay-per-result APIs for agents. No signup. Exact price. Verifiable delivery. USDC on Base + Solana via x402.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the hosted image URL (WebP format), image dimensions (width/height), file size in bytes, SHA256 hash for verifiable delivery, generation ID, aspect ratio, model used, quality profile applied, sale price in USDC, and upstream cost/margin metadata.
