## 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 goldbean-baidu-ocr-api-2a8575be
```

Example prompt: Can you read the text out of this invoice image for me? Here's the URL: https://example.com/invoice.jpg — use Baidu OCR to extract all the text fields.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract text from images using Baidu's OCR engine, especially for documents containing Chinese, Japanese, or other East Asian scripts where Baidu's models excel. Prefer it for cost-sensitive workloads at $0.001/call with no subscription required, and when you want pay-per-call micropayment billing via USDC on Base chain rather than a monthly API key plan.

## Known failure modes

- Image URL unreachable or returns non-200 response — OCR fails with error
- Image format not supported (e.g. unsupported codec) — returns error in data field
- Image too large or resolution too low — poor or empty OCR results
- Insufficient USDC balance for x402 micropayment — payment rejected before call executes
- Text in image is unclear, blurry, or heavily stylized — low confidence or missing extractions
- Non-image content at URL — API returns failure response
