## 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-text-banner-api-13d1af93 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you render the text 'HELLO WORLD' as a big ASCII art banner using the Doom font?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to generate FIGlet-style ASCII text banners from plain text strings, especially when you want font control (Standard, Slant, Banner3, Doom, Big). Ideal for CLI tools, terminal UIs, README headers, retro-style displays, or any context requiring styled monospace art text.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'text' field returns an error response
- Invalid or unsupported font name may fall back to default or return an error
- Text too long may cause truncation or failure
- Payment failure via x402 micropayment will block the request
- Network timeout from Vercel serverless cold start

## 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 success flag and a data object containing the font used and the rendered ASCII art banner string, ready to display in monospace contexts.
