## 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 stability-ai-image-eraser-via-locus-x402-2d19c422 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you erase the car in the background of this photo? Here's the source image and here's the white-mask PNG marking the car — output the result as a PNG.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to erase a specific region of an image defined by a white-mask and have it seamlessly inpainted — ideal for object removal, background cleanup, or watermark erasure. Prefer this over generic image editing tools when you need AI-powered generative fill in the erased region and want pay-per-call micropayment pricing via x402 (no subscription required).

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed image/mask inputs return an error
- Mask and source image dimension mismatch causes processing failure
- Unsupported output_format value (not jpeg/png/webp) returns validation error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the request
- Large grow_mask values may cause unintended erasure of neighboring regions
- Server-side Stability AI errors propagate as 5xx responses

## How this service works

Generative AI platform for images, 3D models, and audio — text-to-image, editing, upscaling, and more.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a `data` field containing the processed image (erased/inpainted result), along with payment details (settled USDC amount) and a request ID with a status URL for tracking. The erased region is seamlessly filled using Stability AI's generative inpainting.
