## 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 nexusapi-ai-text-translation-e3250e9a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you translate this paragraph into Spanish for me: 'Our product is launching next week and we are very excited to share it with our customers around the world.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pay-per-call AI translation with no API key setup, especially in agent workflows on the Base blockchain ecosystem where USDC micropayments are already in use. Ideal for low-volume, on-demand translation tasks where subscribing to a full translation API is overkill.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing query field returns an error response
- Unsupported language pair may yield poor-quality or failed translation
- Insufficient USDC balance causes payment failure and request rejection
- Very long text inputs may be truncated or rejected due to size limits
- Ambiguous language detection may produce incorrect source language assumption
