## 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 recoup-ai-image-generation-4597c551 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you generate an image of a futuristic city skyline at sunset with neon lights reflecting on rain-soaked streets?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to generate a single image from a text prompt at a low per-call micropayment cost via x402. Ideal for AI agents that need on-demand image generation without a subscription, especially in workflows that already use x402 payment infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing prompt returns an error
- Prompt contains disallowed content and is rejected by content policy
- Payment failure via x402 prevents image generation
- Model timeout if the prompt is too complex or the service is overloaded
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in a short window
