## 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 sixpath-api-hub-barcode-generation-36a71f6d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you generate a Code 128 barcode for the product SKU 'SKU-00492817' — I need the barcode image for a shipping label?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call barcode generation tool without committing to a subscription, especially if already using the SixPath API Hub ecosystem or the x402 micropayment protocol on Base chain. Suitable for low-volume or on-demand barcode generation in agent workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Input data string too long or contains characters unsupported by the chosen barcode symbology
- Missing required fields in the POST body — returns a validation error
- Payment not processed via x402 protocol — returns 402 Payment Required
- Service downtime on the Vercel deployment — returns 5xx error
