## 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 stabledesign-create-design-4908bae0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Create a new Instagram post design on StableDesign titled 'Summer Sale 2025' — square format, 1080x1080 pixels.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically create a new design canvas backed by Canva via a pay-per-call micropayment model, especially in automated agent workflows where spinning up fresh designs on demand without a subscription is preferable. Ideal when cost-per-call billing via x402/USDC is acceptable and when you need Canva-quality design infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 micropayment — payment required error
- Invalid design type or unsupported dimensions — 400 bad request
- Canva backend unavailable — 502 or 503 upstream error
- Missing required fields like design title or type — 422 validation error
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded — 429 too many requests
