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 payweave-fal-recraft-v3-image-generation-26016e06 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate an image of a serene Japanese garden at sunset with cherry blossom trees and a wooden bridge over a koi pond — I want something painterly and detailed.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need Recraft V3 specifically — known for high-quality vector-style and design-oriented image outputs — and want pay-per-call USDC micropayment billing with no subscription required. Prefer this over other fal-hosted models when the use case involves branding, illustration, or design assets rather than photorealistic scenes.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure: insufficient USDC balance results in 402 response before inference begins
- Model error: malformed or unsupported input parameters return a non-null error field in the response
- Timeout: complex prompts may occasionally exceed sub-second SLA, causing gateway timeout
- CDN expiry: returned image URLs expire after ~24 hours and cannot be re-fetched
- Rate limiting: high-frequency callers may be throttled by the PayWeave gateway

## How this service works

Sub-second generative AI inference — image, video, audio.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a fal request ID, the model name, a status of 'succeeded', one or more CDN-hosted image URLs (valid for ~24 hours), inference time in seconds, and the actual USD charge for the call. The image URLs point to fal-hosted storage and can be downloaded or displayed immediately.
