## 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 screenshot-api-74f1d587 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you take a full-page screenshot of https://example.com at 1280x800 resolution and give me the PNG?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pay-per-use, programmatic screenshot or PDF capture of any public URL without managing a browser infrastructure yourself. It is ideal for one-off or low-volume captures billed precisely per call via USDC on Base (x402 protocol), making it cost-effective for agents that capture pages sporadically rather than at high volume.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns an error — rendering fails with no image returned
- Invalid or malformed URL input causes a 400-level error
- Payment via x402 on Base fails or is insufficient — request is rejected before rendering
- Timeout if the target page takes too long to load
- Very long or complex pages may produce large binary payloads
