## 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 grok-image-generate-19246339 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a photorealistic image of a golden retriever running on a sunlit beach at sunset using Grok's pro image model, in 16:9 aspect ratio, and give me back a URL.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to generate brand-new images from a text description using xAI's Grok image models. Prefer the 'grok-imagine-image-pro' model for higher quality outputs. Use this over image editing endpoints when no base image is needed — pure text-to-image generation. Ideal for creative, visual, or illustrative content generation tasks within the xAI/Grok ecosystem.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'prompt' field returns a validation error
- Invalid model ID returns an error indicating unsupported model
- Unsupported aspect ratio value may return a bad request error
- Exceeding allowed value for 'n' may result in an error
- Network or service unavailability returns a 5xx error
- Prompt violates content policy and is rejected
