# ManyLives Image Print Check

> ManyLives Image Print Check is a paid API for AI agents from api.manylives.me, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).

Analyzes an image's dimensions, DPI, and format to determine whether it is suitable for printing at specified physical sizes

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-image-print-check-283cc960 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check if this image is good enough to print at 8x10 inches and A4 — here's the URL: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/47/PNG_transparency_demonstration_1.png — I need at least 300 DPI.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically verify whether a specific image file (by URL or base64) meets print-quality requirements at one or more physical sizes before sending to a print lab, e-commerce product page, or publishing pipeline. It is more specific than generic image metadata tools because it directly computes per-size DPI adequacy and crop percentage, and it costs only $0.002 per call with no account required.

## Known failure modes

- Image URL is not publicly accessible or returns a non-200 status — endpoint cannot fetch the image
- Unsupported image format (e.g. TIFF, BMP) — only PNG, JPEG, and WebP are accepted
- base64 payload is malformed or truncated — returns a parsing error
- DPI value outside the 72-1200 range — rejected with a validation error
- Image is too small to produce any valid print size — all sizes return ok: false

## 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

Returns a JSON object containing: per-size results (ok/fail, crop percentage, effective DPI) for each requested print size; image pixel dimensions (width, height); file format; transparency flag; embedded DPI; and the maximum physical print size achievable at 300 DPI in both inches and centimeters.
