# Delx Commerce — Remove Background

> Delx Commerce — Remove Background is a paid API for AI agents from commerce.delx.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Removes the background from an image, returning a transparent PNG with verifiable delivery, paid per-result in USDC via x402.

## 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-remove-background-26c9ff9c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you remove the background from this product photo and give me a transparent PNG? Here's the image in base64: [base64 string].

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need pay-per-result background removal with no signup, verifiable delivery (SHA-256 hash), and crypto micropayment settlement (USDC on Base or Solana via x402). Ideal for AI agent pipelines that require trustless, per-call billing and cryptographic proof of delivery rather than subscription-based image APIs.

## Known failure modes

- Image exceeds 256 KiB decoded size — rejected with validation error
- Invalid base64 encoding or unsupported format (not PNG/JPEG/WebP) — rejected
- Image URL or file path submitted instead of base64 — explicitly rejected
- Payment failure via x402 — transaction not completed, no result returned
- Upstream Replicate provider timeout or error — delivery fails

## How this service works

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

## Output

A JSON object containing the URL of the processed transparent PNG, its SHA-256 hash for verification, image dimensions (width/height), byte size, the model used (851-labs/background-remover via Replicate), generation ID, input SHA-256, media type (image/png), whether transparency is present, the sale price in USDC, and upstream cost details.
