## 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-initials-extractor-8ec8bf8f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the initials for 'Harold Arthur Whitmore'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call initials extraction with no signup overhead, especially within an agentic workflow that already uses x402 micropayment rails on Base or Solana. Ideal for high-volume name-abbreviation tasks at $0.001 USDC per call where cost predictability and verifiable delivery matter.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or blank text input may return an error or empty initials string
- Text exceeding 100,000 characters will be rejected
- Non-alphabetic-only input (numbers, symbols) may yield unexpected or empty initials
- Payment failure via x402 will block the request before processing

## How this service works

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