## 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 kino402-faceless-explainer-video-generator-80d1f064 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a faceless explainer video for my product — it's a B2B analytics dashboard called DataPulse that helps teams track KPIs in real time. Keep it under 60 seconds, professional tone, no presenter on screen.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fully finished faceless explainer video generated by a frontier AI model in a single API call, with transparent per-call USDC pricing via the x402 protocol. Prefer it over subscription-based video APIs when you want pay-per-use economics on Base or Solana, and when the async job-polling model is acceptable for your workflow.

## Known failure modes

- 402 Payment Required — returned before payment with exact USDC quote for the submitted body; agent must pay and retry
- Body exceeds 16 KB limit — request rejected
- Invalid or malformed JSON body — 400 error
- Payment on unsupported chain or insufficient USDC balance — payment failure
- Job rendering failure — status URL may return an error state after polling

## How this service works

Finished video, one request, pay per call. Frontier video models priced per call in USDC on Base or Solana. The unpaid 402 is the quote.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a job ID, a polling status URL, the price in USD and atomic USDC, and an initial status of 'queued'. The agent must poll the status URL asynchronously to retrieve the finished video once rendering is complete.
