## 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-web-screenshot-24b920e8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take a full-page screenshot of https://example.com at 1280×800 in PNG format and give me a download link instead of the raw image data.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a visual, pixel-accurate capture of a live public webpage — especially when you want to archive page appearance, verify layout, check dark-mode rendering, or capture a specific viewport size. Prefer it over page-to-Markdown endpoints when the visual presentation matters, not just the text content.

## Known failure modes

- Private, internal, or IP-literal host URLs are refused with an error
- Viewport dimensions outside allowed ranges (width 320-1920, height 200-1600) are rejected
- JPEG quality outside 1-100 is rejected
- delay_ms above 5000 ms is rejected
- Full-page captures are cut at 10,000 px height
- The page may fail to load if it blocks headless browsers
- Payment failure returns HTTP 402

## How this service works

Web tools: search, page to Markdown or screenshot, company profile and jobs, sitemaps, RDAP, IP.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the original URL, image format, width, height, dark_mode and full_page flags, total output bytes, and either a 'file' object with the base64-encoded image data and content type, or a 'file' object with a download URL, expiry timestamp, byte count, content type, and SHA256 hash — depending on the chosen output mode.
