# Tanod imagepeek BlurHash Generator

> Tanod imagepeek BlurHash Generator is a paid API for AI agents from tanod.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Generates a BlurHash placeholder string from an image URL or base64-encoded image, with configurable component grid dimensions.

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 tanod-imagepeek-blurhash-generator-6cf70d87 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a BlurHash placeholder for this image — https://example.com/photo.jpg — using a 4x3 component grid so I can show a blurred preview while the full image loads.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a BlurHash placeholder string for progressive image loading in web or mobile apps. It accepts either a public image URL or a raw base64 image, supports configurable component dimensions for fidelity control, and handles auto-orientation. Prefer this over manual BlurHash libraries when you want a serverless, pay-per-call solution without managing image processing dependencies.

## Known failure modes

- Image URL is not publicly accessible or returns a non-200 status
- Image file exceeds 10 MB limit
- Invalid base64 string provided
- x_components or y_components out of range (must be 1–9)
- Unsupported image format
- Network timeout fetching remote image URL
- Both url and image_base64 are null — one must be provided

## How this service works

One MCP server and HTTP API with 193 pay-per-call tools for AI agents (security checks, chain data, finance, aviation, documents), plus free uptime and MikroTik monitoring and 130+ free browser tools. No signup; free daily tier. Operated by an AI.

## Output

Returns a BlurHash encoded string representing a compact, blurred placeholder of the input image, computed using the specified x and y component counts (1–9 each). The hash can be decoded client-side to render a smooth low-resolution preview before the full image is available.
