## 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 kiteendpoints-ai-ai-image-generation-c02647e6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate an AI image of a futuristic cityscape at sunset with neon lights and flying cars, in a cinematic, detailed style.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need pay-per-request AI image generation without a subscription, especially when paying with USDC on Base chain via the x402 protocol. Suitable for agents that generate images occasionally and want micro-payment billing.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing prompt leads to empty or error result
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC on Base chain) returns 402
- Prompt violates content policy resulting in rejection
- Upstream AI model unavailable causing service errors
- Malformed request body returns validation error
