## 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 meterly-ai-real-time-image-search-e44d69bc -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for real-time images of 'aurora borealis over Iceland' and return the top 5 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to find real-time, up-to-date images based on a text query and is operating in a USDC/x402 micropayment environment. Prefer this over static image databases when freshness of results matters, or when integrating with other Meterly.Ai pay-per-call APIs for a unified billing model.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'query' parameter returns a validation error
- Invalid or malformed URL parameter causes request failure
- Payment failure via x402/USDC results in 402 Payment Required response
- Query returns no results for very obscure or restricted search terms
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded returns an error response
- Underlying image search provider outage causes 500 or timeout
