## 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 nova-ai-inference-api-analyze-endpoint-8876d793 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you use Nova's inference API to analyze this image — https://example.com/photo.jpg — and tell me what's in it? My prompt is: 'Describe the main subject and any notable details in this photo.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need flexible, pay-per-call AI inference (text, image, or audio) without a subscription, billed in USDC on Base via the x402 protocol — ideal for agents that need occasional AI reasoning, translation, analysis, or generation without committing to a fixed-cost API plan.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'prompt' field returns a validation error
- Invalid or inaccessible image_url or audio_url causes processing failure
- Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 payment results in 402 Payment Required
- Malformed request body returns 400 Bad Request
- Model overload or server error returns 500 with success:false
