## 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 geekvault-image-metadata-extractor-a4866c32 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the metadata from this image file — I need the dimensions, format, and any EXIF data like camera settings or GPS coordinates embedded in it?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, no-signup, pay-per-call image metadata extraction with no API key overhead. Ideal for agents that process images infrequently or on-demand and want to avoid subscription costs. Best when you need both basic dimensions and rich EXIF data in a single call. Prefer over client-side libraries when running in environments without native image-processing dependencies.

## Known failure modes

- Non-image or corrupt file submitted — likely returns an error or empty EXIF object
- Oversized file may time out or be rejected
- Image format with no EXIF support (e.g. some PNG/GIF variants) will return an empty exif object
- Missing required 'file' field in request body returns a validation error
- Payment failure via x402 will block the call before processing

## How this service works

Network, docs, image, web, and dev utility tools paid per call via x402. No signup, no API keys, no subscriptions — just USDC on Base.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the image width (integer pixels), height (integer pixels), format string (e.g. 'jpeg', 'png', 'webp'), and an EXIF object with key-value string pairs representing any embedded EXIF metadata such as camera make/model, GPS coordinates, exposure settings, timestamps, and other camera-specific fields.
