## 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 kihustle-image-metadata-stripper-15417642 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Strip all the metadata from this image file — I want to remove any EXIF data like GPS location or camera info before I share it publicly. The filename is 'photo_2024.jpg'.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call microservice to strip EXIF and embedded metadata from images without setting up your own image processing pipeline. At $0.002 USDC per call it is cost-effective for low-to-moderate volume use cases where privacy-safe image sharing is required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or corrupt image data returns an error status
- Unsupported image format may not be stripped correctly
- Missing 'data' field in request body causes processing failure
- Malformed base64 encoding leads to decode errors
- Oversized image data may cause timeout or rejection
