## 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 image-crop-api-9cd33441 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Crop this image for me — send it as JSON in the POST body and give me back the result as a base64 image with its width and height.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-use image cropping operation that returns a base64-encoded result suitable for downstream AI pipelines or web embedding. It is ideal for single-image crop tasks where you need the output dimensions alongside the image data, and when you are already operating within an x402 micropayment workflow.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed image body — returns error if required body fields are absent
- Unsupported bodyType value — must be one of json, form-data, or text
- Invalid or unreachable image source — crop cannot proceed if image data is corrupt or missing
- Payment not fulfilled — x402 protocol requires $0.01 USDC payment before processing
- Server error on Railway deployment — transient infrastructure issues may cause 5xx responses

## How this service works

Image processing for AI agents

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a base64-encoded string of the cropped image, along with the resulting pixel width and height of the output image.
