Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 tako-via-orthogonal-tako-thin-viz-create-card-535cbf11 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Create a custom Tako knowledge card using my sales data — I want a bar chart component showing monthly revenue by region, and I need back the card_id so I can embed it on my dashboard.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have your own data and want to specify chart components explicitly and precisely, rather than letting Tako auto-generate a visualization. Prefer this over the Visualize endpoint when you need fine-grained control over chart type, layout, and component configuration. Best when you already know which chart schema/template you want from the Default Schema endpoint.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing chart component specification returns 400 error
- Malformed data payload causes parsing failure
- Unsupported chart component type returns schema validation error
- Missing required fields in the POST body returns 422 unprocessable entity
- Authentication or payment failure returns 402 or 401

## How this service works

Create a custom embeddable knowledge card from your own data by specifying chart components directly. Returns card_id, image_url, webpage_url, and embed_url. Use List Default Schemas first to see available chart types and their required fields. Example body for a bar chart: {"components": [{"component_type": "header", "config": {"title": "Sales by Region"}}, {"component_type": "categorical_bar", "config": {"datasets": [{"label": "Revenue", "data": [{"x": "US", "y": 500}, {"x": "EU", "y": 300}]}]}}], "title": "Sales by Region", "source": "Internal Data"}

## Output

Returns a card_id referencing the newly created embeddable Tako knowledge card, which can be used to render or embed the interactive visualization.
