## 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-e9b6432f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate an AI image of a serene mountain lake at sunset with dramatic orange and purple skies, photorealistic style.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-request AI image generation without a subscription, especially in agent workflows that already use USDC on Base chain for payments. Ideal for low-volume or sporadic image generation tasks where per-call pricing is more economical than a monthly plan.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance or payment failure resulting in 402 response
- Vague or empty prompt leading to generic or low-quality image output
- Content policy violation if prompt requests disallowed imagery
- Timeout if generation model is under heavy load
- Malformed input schema causing 400 bad request

## How this service works

400+ paid API endpoints. Social media, AI, crypto, finance, weather, ecommerce, tools. Pay per request with USDC on Base chain.

## Output

Returns a result object containing the generated image data, typically as a base64-encoded image or image URL, depending on the underlying model's output format.
