## 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-web-image-api-4e4057e6
```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract text from a web-hosted image URL using Baidu's OCR engine, especially when cost-sensitivity matters ($0.002/call) and you want a pay-per-call model with no subscription. It is particularly well-suited for processing Chinese-language images or mixed Chinese-English text where Baidu's OCR excels. Prefer it over generic OCR APIs if you are already using other Baidu AI tools in your pipeline or if you need to process large volumes cost-effectively.

## Known failure modes

- Image format not supported by Baidu OCR returns failure
- Payment not processed (402) if USDC balance insufficient
- Rate limit exceeded if free daily quota (50 calls) is exhausted
- Non-text or low-quality images may return empty or partial extraction
- Network timeout if the source image URL is slow to load
