## 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 serp402-google-images-light-ee66171f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Google Images for 'vintage Italian espresso machines' filtered to large images in square format, using English results from the US, and give me the titles, thumbnails, and links.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, structured Google Images search results without managing an API key or subscription, especially in agent workflows requiring pay-per-call billing in USDC. Prefer it over SerpAPI or other scraping services when low per-call cost and no account setup are priorities, and when image-specific filters (aspect ratio, color, size, date range) are needed.

## Known failure modes

- Query returns no results for highly specific or rare search terms
- Rate limiting or temporary blocks from upstream Google infrastructure
- Invalid parameter values (e.g. malformed date format, unsupported country code) causing empty or error responses
- Truncated results for very broad queries
- Thumbnail URLs may expire or become unavailable over time
