## 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 gorilla-farm-image-generation-editing-api-b99ca352 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Using the Nano Banana 2 model on gorilla.farm, generate a photorealistic image of a misty mountain forest at sunrise in 16:9 aspect ratio.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need AI-generated or AI-edited images powered by the Nano Banana 2 model, especially when operating in an x402 micropayment environment where per-call USDC billing is acceptable. Good for agents that need one-off image generation without managing API keys or subscriptions.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable image_url when editing — server may fail to fetch the source image
- Prompt exceeds 1000 character limit — request rejected
- Unsupported aspect ratio value — validation error
- Model unavailable or overloaded — 5xx error
- Payment failure for the $0.20 USDC x402 charge — 402 response
