## 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 openweb-ninja-ocr-realtime-lens-data-82c303c4
```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, pay-per-call OCR with no account setup or API key — ideal for agents making occasional image-to-text calls without committing to a subscription. Best for straightforward printed text extraction from clear image URLs. Prefer this over subscription-based OCR APIs when cost predictability per call matters and volume is moderate.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible image URL returns an error or empty result
- Image with no readable text returns empty OCR output
- Low-resolution or blurry images may yield incomplete or garbled text
- Handwritten text may be partially misrecognized
- Payment failure over x402 results in 402 response and no content
- Unsupported image format may return an error
