## 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 fal-ai-queue-grok-imagine-image-to-video-async-ae1e9df8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you animate this product photo into a short video clip using Grok Imagine? Here's the image URL: https://example.com/product.jpg — run it async and let me know the request ID so I can check back on it.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to animate a static image into a video using xAI's Grok Imagine model specifically, and the generation is expected to take longer than ~100 seconds (requiring async queue handling). Prefer over synchronous alternatives when dealing with high-quality video generation that needs a polling workflow. Choose over other image-to-video providers when the user specifically wants Grok Imagine's style or when other fal.ai sync endpoints would time out.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible image URL — endpoint cannot fetch the source image
- Unsupported image format or resolution — rejected at submission
- Queue overload or service unavailability — submission may timeout
- Polling required but request_id not stored — result retrieval fails
- Payment failure — $0.50 USDC not available or transaction rejected
- Generated video quality insufficient — model limitation on complex scenes

## How this service works

Grok Imagine image-to-video (async)

## Output

Returns a request_id immediately upon submission. The agent can poll the fal.ai queue for status and retrieve the final generated video URL once processing is complete. The video is a short animated clip derived from the input image.
