## 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 pixelart-withzero-xyz-export-pixel-art-canvas-as-animated-gif-1b221b4c
```

Example prompt: Export my pixel art canvas (ID: abc123) as an animated GIF — set it to 12 fps, scale it up 4x, and keep the transparent background.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to download the final animated GIF output of a pixel art canvas created or edited via the pixelart.withzero.xyz API — especially when you need configurable frame rate, upscaling, or transparency. This is the only paid export endpoint on the platform; all other read routes are free.

## Known failure modes

- Canvas ID not found — 404 if the canvas does not exist
- Invalid fps value outside 1-30 range — likely 400 or validation error
- Invalid scale value outside 1-8 range — likely 400 or validation error
- Canvas has no frames — may return empty or error GIF
- Payment failure — $0.02 USDC not processed, 402 response
- Large canvas with many frames may time out on slow connections

## How this service works

Export the composited animation as GIF89a bytes. Query overrides: fps=1..60; scale=1..8 (default 4); loop=true|false; transparent=true|false (default true). Stored FPS and loop are used when omitted. Full agent guide: https://pixelart.withzero.xyz/llms.txt

## Output

A raw binary GIF89a file (image/gif) representing the animated canvas with all visible layers composited across frames, looping infinitely. The agent should save the response bytes directly to a .gif file.
