## 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-seedream-5-lite-image-edit-e28464e2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take this photo of mine at https://example.com/photo.jpg and replace the background with a sunset beach scene — use Seedream 5 Lite edit to do it asynchronously so we can poll for the result.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to edit or modify an existing image using a text instruction (e.g. background replacement, object removal, style changes) via ByteDance's Seedream 5 Lite model, and when generation time may exceed synchronous timeout limits. Prefer this over fal.run sync endpoints for long-running edits. Prefer Seedream 5 Pro edit if higher quality is required, or Seedream 5 Lite text-to-image if generating from scratch.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible source image URL — returns an error before queuing
- Malformed edit prompt or unsupported instruction — may result in unexpected edits or rejection
- Dynamic pricing unavailable or payment failure — call may be rejected
- Polling timeout if the queue is heavily loaded and the result is not retrieved in time
- Image dimensions or format not supported by Seedream 5 Lite edit model

## How this service works

Seedream 5 lite edit (dynamic pricing)

## Output

Returns a request_id immediately upon queue submission. The agent then polls the fal.ai queue status endpoint with that request_id to retrieve the final edited image URL, generation metadata, and any completion or error status.
