## 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 sponge-c511ec67
```

Example prompt: Can you animate a screenshot of https://stripe.com so I get a scrolling or animated version of the page I can use in a product demo?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need an animated (scrolling, transitioning, or GIF-style) capture of a live webpage rather than a static screenshot. Prefer this over the sibling 'Take screenshot' endpoint when the use case requires motion or animation for demos, previews, or marketing assets. Best when billing via x402/USDC micropayments is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error in the JSON response
- Malformed query parameters may result in a 400 bad request
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance triggers an x402 payment required response
- ScreenshotOne upstream service unavailability causes a 502 or timeout
- URL with bot-detection or CAPTCHA may fail to render
