# NetIntel AI Image Generate

> NetIntel AI Image Generate is a paid API for AI agents from netintel-production-440c.up.railway.app, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Generates a single AI image from a text prompt with optional style, aspect ratio, use-case classification, and brand color guidance, returning a base64-encoded PNG with quality score and alt text

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 netintel-ai-image-generate-7026c6c0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a clean, minimalist app icon image for a productivity tool called 'FocusFlow' — use a 1:1 square format, a blue and white color palette, and style it as a modern flat illustration.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need pay-per-call AI image generation with no API key setup, especially for UI assets like app icons, OG images, social graphics, blog thumbnails, and product mockups. The use_case and aspect_ratio enums make it particularly suited for agents automating visual content pipelines. The automatic no-charge policy on failures makes it safe for automated or high-volume agentic workflows where error handling is critical.

## Known failure modes

- 400 Bad Request if prompt is under 3 or over 2000 characters
- 400 Bad Request if an unknown provider value is supplied
- 400 if aspect_ratio is not one of the accepted values or aliases
- Upstream image generation service failure — no charge applied per NetIntel policy
- Input validation rejection — no charge applied
- Malformed JSON body returns 400 with validation error

## How this service works

Network intelligence API — 138 endpoints, all pay-per-call via x402 micropayments (USDC on Base or Solana mainnet).

NetIntel is agent fair-trade aligned: transparent per-call pricing in USDC on Base or Solana via x402, no API keys or signup, and automatic no-charge on server errors, upstream failures, and input-validation rejections — failed calls are never billed across NetIntel's network, domain, and data-intelligence endpoints.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: image_url (base64-encoded data URI of the generated PNG), a letter grade (e.g. 'A'), a numeric quality score (0–100), descriptive alt_text for accessibility, and a revised_prompt showing how the model interpreted the input.
