## 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-web-screenshot-api-5cd457f9
```

Example prompt: Can you take a screenshot of https://example.com and show me what the page looks like right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, no-setup visual capture of a public web page and want to pay per call without managing API keys or subscriptions. Ideal for agents that need occasional screenshots rather than high-volume rendering. Particularly useful when you want to avoid spinning up a headless browser yourself or when you want a simple pay-as-you-go model using USDC on Base via x402.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed URL returns an error (URL must start with http:// or https://)
- URL exceeds 2000 characters results in rejection
- Target page is unreachable or returns an error (e.g. 404, 503) — screenshot may show browser error page or fail
- Private/intranet URLs not accessible from the rendering server return empty or error
- Payment failure via x402 prevents the request from being processed
- Very slow-loading pages may timeout before capture is complete

## 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 raw binary data (octet-stream) representing the rendered screenshot image of the given URL — typically a PNG or JPEG. The agent receives the image bytes directly and can save, display, or forward the image as needed.
