# ManyLives AI Label Check

> ManyLives AI Label Check is a paid API for AI agents from api.manylives.me, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-16).

Detects generative-AI markers and C2PA/IPTC metadata in an image to determine if it will be labeled as AI-generated on platforms like Pinterest and Meta

## 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 manylives-ai-label-check-5302fe27 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Check this image for AI-generation markers — will Pinterest or Meta automatically label it as AI-made? The image is at https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a9/Example.jpg

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically inspect an image for embedded AI-generation signals (IPTC, XMP, C2PA) before publishing to social platforms, or when auditing whether an image will be automatically labeled as AI-generated by Meta, Pinterest, or similar services. It is purpose-built for AI content provenance detection rather than general image analysis or EXIF reading.

## Known failure modes

- Image URL is not publicly accessible — returns an error fetching the image
- Invalid base64 data provided — returns a parse error
- Image format not supported — may return an error or incomplete metadata
- No AI markers found — ai_marker will be false and digital_source_type will be empty
- Network timeout fetching remote image URL
- Payment not processed — 402 response before metadata is returned

## How this service works

Pay-per-call tools for people building AI agents: live web search and page contents, point-in-time crypto market data and news for backtests (no lookahead), verifiable track records of 1,000 crypto strategies locked on the Base network, company profiles, quick AI and batch prices. Ask us to turn a public website into a JSON endpoint. Pay per call, no account, free trial.

## Output

A JSON object containing: the image format, a boolean ai_marker indicating whether an AI generation marker was found, an array of human-readable what_to_expect messages explaining platform labeling behavior, an array of digital_source_type objects with code, kind, label, and found_in fields describing where the marker was found (e.g. XMP metadata), and a c2pa_manifest_present boolean indicating whether a C2PA manifest is embedded.
