## 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 maximus-media-house-image-edit-api-43d52c99 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take this product photo (https://example.com/shirt.png) and edit it to change the shirt color to navy blue and add a subtle shadow beneath it, output as a 1024x1024 image.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need instruction-based image editing (not generation from scratch) using the Qwen image-edit model, with flexible input via URL or base64 and output in base64 or URL format. Ideal for agents building media pipelines, e-commerce photo editing workflows, or creative tools that need to modify existing images on a per-call pay-as-you-go basis ($0.02 USDC per call) without a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible image URL (SSRF guard blocks private/internal URLs)
- Both image and image_url provided simultaneously — only one is accepted
- Image too large or in unsupported format
- Prompt exceeds 1200 character limit
- Seed value out of range (must be 0–4294967295)
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance (x402 protocol)
- Model unavailable or rate limit exceeded
- Invalid size enum value provided

## Output

Returns an object containing the edited image either as a base64-encoded JSON string (b64_json) or a publicly accessible URL, depending on the response_format parameter chosen. The image reflects the modifications described in the prompt while preserving the source image's identity and composition.
