## 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-c730d487 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate an AI image of a futuristic cityscape at sunset with neon lights reflecting off wet streets, in a cyberpunk style.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pay-per-request AI image generation capability billed in USDC on the Base chain, without a subscription commitment. It is part of a large multi-category API hub, so it may be convenient if you are already using other KiteEndpoints services. Avoid if you need strongly-typed input schemas, guaranteed uptime SLAs, or a specific known image model.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 payment results in 402 Payment Required
- Vague or policy-violating prompts may return an error or empty result
- No input schema fields are formally defined beyond a generic result object, so parameter handling is opaque
- Service may be unavailable if the Vercel deployment is down or cold-starting
- Underlying image model quota or rate limit may cause failures
