## 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 minimax-video-01-text-to-video-paysponge-x402-eaadd4d4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a video of a lone astronaut walking across a red Martian landscape at sunset, cinematic wide shot with dust clouds swirling around their boots, in a realistic sci-fi style — use MiniMax Video 01 and enable the prompt optimizer.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to generate a video from a text prompt using MiniMax Video 01 via a pay-per-call x402 micropayment model, without managing fal.ai API keys directly. Ideal for agents that need async video generation with job tracking (status, cancel, response URLs) at a low fixed cost of $0.07 USDC per call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing prompt field returns a 400 validation error
- Insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment failure blocks job submission
- fal.ai backend unavailable returns a 5xx error
- Malformed request body (extra fields not allowed due to additionalProperties:false) returns a 400
- Queue overload may result in high queue_position or timeout

## How this service works

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a request_id, a response_url to poll for the finished video, a status_url to check job progress, a cancel_url to abort the job, and a queue_position integer indicating where the job sits in the processing queue.
