## 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 relaystation-identicon-generator-f253056a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a GitHub-style identicon avatar PNG for the user 'alice@example.com' — I need a stable, deterministic avatar I can use every time she logs in.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a stable, reproducible avatar that requires no user-uploaded photo — especially for new accounts, anonymous users, or AI agents that need a consistent visual identity. Prefer it over random avatar generators when determinism across sessions is required, and over storing user images when you want zero storage overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty seed string returns an error
- Invalid content-type or malformed request body
- Payment not provided or insufficient x402 credit causes payment-required error
- Network timeout on image rendering for unusual seeds

## How this service works

$0.0002/call. Deterministic GitHub-style identicon PNG from any seed string — stable avatars for users or agents. 1¢ x402 min; remainder auto-credits — relaystation.ai/penny

## Output

A PNG image file containing a deterministic, GitHub-style identicon uniquely derived from the provided seed string. The same seed always produces the same image, making it suitable as a stable avatar.
