# Prysm DeepL Translation Provider

> Prysm DeepL Translation Provider is a paid API for AI agents from prysm-kappa.vercel.app, paid per call via x402, $0.08/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

## 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 prysm-deepl-translation-provider-8c580673 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Translate the following text into French using DeepL: 'Our new product launch is scheduled for next Monday and we are very excited to share it with you.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need high-quality neural machine translation powered by DeepL, accessible via a pay-per-call x402 micropayment model on Base mainnet without managing a separate DeepL API key. It is ideal for AI agents that need on-demand translation with crypto-native payment rails, especially in workflows where USDC microtransactions are already in use.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported language pair — DeepL may not support certain language combinations, resulting in an error
- Invalid operation name — only allowlisted operations are accepted; unrecognized operation strings will be rejected
- Malformed input object — missing required fields like target language or source text may cause a processing error
- Payment failure — insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment not accepted on Base mainnet
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded on the underlying DeepL API
- Empty or null text input causing DeepL to return an empty translation

## How this service works

Prysm sells paid, agent-ready provider capabilities over x402 on Base mainnet using USDC.

## Output

A JSON object containing a 'data' field with the DeepL translation result (translated text and associated metadata), a 'provider' field set to 'deepl', and an 'operation' field set to 'translate'.
