## 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 old2new-recipe-transformer-image-recipe-5b7e6f30 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you transform my classic beef lasagna recipe into a vegan, dairy-free version? Here's the recipe: [recipe text]. I'm following a plant-based diet and want a full ingredient swap list, new instructions, and a shopping list.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need both a textually transformed healthy recipe AND an AI-generated visual of the finished dish in a single call. It's ideal for apps or agents that serve users with specific dietary protocols (GLP-1, keto, Mediterranean, vegan) and need structured output including a categorized shopping list. Prefer this over generic LLM prompting when you want consistent schema output, per-call pricing without managing your own LLM keys, and integrated image generation.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'recipe' field returns a validation error
- Ambiguous or very short recipe text may produce a low-quality or incomplete transformation
- Neither 'diets' nor 'healthGoal' provided may result in a generic transformation with no specific dietary focus
- Image generation may fail independently of recipe transformation, returning a null imageUrl
- Payment failure (x402) returns a 402 status before processing begins
- Extremely long recipe text may hit token limits and produce truncated results

## How this service works

Transform your old comfort recipes into healthy new favorites. Recipe transformation for GLP-1, keto, mediterranean and all healthy diets.

## Output

Returns a structured JSON object containing: the transformed recipe (new name, ingredient list with substitution notes, step-by-step instructions), an organized shopping list broken into categories (produce, protein, dairy, pantry, other), a URL to an AI-generated image of the dish, the model used, applied dietary restrictions, a unique request ID, and a disclaimer about nutritional estimates.
