## 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 dotrockets-x402-text-url-translation-api-d99edf42
```

Example prompt: Translate the following text into German for me: 'The weather today is sunny and warm, perfect for a walk in the park.' Auto-detect the source language.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when your agent needs machine-payable, no-signup text or webpage translation billed per call in USDC on Base. Ideal for agentic pipelines that require pay-as-you-go translation without managing API keys, and supports both raw text and URL-based webpage translation in a single endpoint.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'to' parameter returns an error — target language code is mandatory
- Invalid or unsupported language code may return an error or unexpected output
- If neither 'text' nor 'url' is provided, the request may fail or return empty translation
- URL that is inaccessible or returns non-text content may fail to translate
- Auto-detection may mis-identify the source language for very short or ambiguous text snippets
- Payment failure via x402 returns 402 Payment Required before translation is attempted
