## 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 independent-image-api-gateway-gpt-image-2-5-flare-ae671ce7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you generate an image of a minimalist line drawing of a lighthouse at dawn — pay per image using USDC on Base?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, pay-per-use text-to-image generation capability with no subscription commitment, billed at a fixed $0.08 USDC per image on Base. It is well-suited for agents that need to generate images on-demand without managing API keys or accounts, leveraging the x402 micropayment protocol. Prefer this over subscription-based image APIs when usage is sporadic or when you want crypto-native payment flows.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure: if the x402 USDC payment on Base is not completed or insufficient, the request will be rejected before generation
- Invalid or empty prompt: a missing or malformed prompt may result in an error or low-quality output
- Model overload or timeout: the underlying image model may be temporarily unavailable, returning a 5xx error
- Malformed request body: missing required fields will result in a 400-level error
- Rate limiting: the gateway may throttle repeated rapid requests from the same client

## How this service works

Independent pay-per-image text-to-image gateway. Fixed price per image, USDC on Base.

## Output

A JSON object containing a `data` array with one entry per generated image. Each entry includes a `b64_json` field with the base64-encoded PNG image data and a `revised_prompt` string showing the prompt as interpreted by the model. The response also includes a `created` Unix timestamp. The image can be decoded and used directly as a PNG file.
