## 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-real-time-image-search-7d478ef7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for real-time images of cherry blossoms in Tokyo right now and give me the top results with their URLs.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, up-to-date image search results from the web without building your own image search pipeline, and when you are already operating in a crypto payment (USDC on Base) environment via the x402 protocol.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or vague query returns no results
- Query terms violating content policies may be rejected
- Service downtime on the Vercel-hosted endpoint returns 5xx errors
- Payment failure via x402/USDC on Base chain prevents request from being processed
- Rate limiting if too many requests are sent in quick succession
