## 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-qgrbqflbo-recoupable-ad724970-vercel-app-ae3d4dd2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate an image for the location 'San Francisco, California' and show me the result.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to generate an image tied to a specific location and are operating within an x402 micropayment-enabled agentic workflow. Best suited for agents that can autonomously handle USDC micropayments and need location-visual content on demand.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'location' field returns a validation error
- Invalid or unrecognized location string may produce unexpected or generic output
- Payment failure or insufficient funds prevents access to the generated image
- Service unavailability on Vercel hosting may return 5xx errors
- Empty location string may result in an error or default output

## How this service works
