## 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 fastx402-ocr-image-text-extraction-9539bf16
```

Example prompt: Can you read all the text in this image for me? Here's the URL: https://example.com/scan.png — it's in English.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a simple, no-account, pay-per-call OCR solution that works directly from a public image URL without any API key setup. It is ideal for AI agents that need to occasionally extract text from images as part of a workflow, where setting up a full OCR subscription would be overkill. Particularly suited for English and Turkish text. If you need batch processing of many images or support for many additional languages, a dedicated OCR platform may be preferable.

## Known failure modes

- Image URL is not publicly accessible or returns a non-200 HTTP response
- Image format is not one of the supported types (PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF, BMP, GIF)
- Image contains no discernible text, returning an empty text field
- URL parameter is missing, resulting in a validation error
- Payment not completed via x402 protocol, resulting in 402 response
- Image is too large or the server times out fetching it

## How this service works

146 pay-per-call tools for AI agents, from $0.001 per request in USDC on Base or Solana with x402. No account, no API key.

## Output

A JSON object containing the detected language code (e.g. 'eng' or 'tur') and the full extracted text string from the image, with newlines preserved where line breaks were detected.
