## 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 glyphforge-braille-art-converter-6688cede -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Convert this image of my company logo into braille art — use a width of 80 characters and a threshold of 128 so lighter details are captured cleanly.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need Unicode Braille dot art output from an image — ideal for terminal displays, braille-compatible renderers, or stylized text art in braille character sets. Prefer over ASCII art endpoints when the target medium supports Unicode Braille block characters (U+2800–U+28FF) and you want higher dot density than ASCII can provide.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed base64 image string returns an error
- Unsupported image format (not PNG, JPEG, or WEBP) may fail
- Width value too large may produce oversized output or timeout
- Threshold out of 0-255 range may be rejected
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the call
- Very small or very low-contrast images may produce empty or blank braille output

## How this service works

Convert images to ASCII, Braille, Unicode block art, and more. Paid API with x402 micropayments on Base.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' field containing the braille art string, plus the output dimensions (width and height in braille characters), and a 'success' boolean indicating whether the conversion succeeded.
