# Tanship PayAI Console — Browser PDF Generation

> Tanship PayAI Console — Browser PDF Generation is a paid API for AI agents from x402.tanship.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Renders a webpage or HTML content to a PDF document via browser automation, gated by a $0.01 USDC x402 micropayment on Base.

## 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 tanship-payai-console-browser-pdf-generation-edfa29d5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you render the page at https://example.com/report into a PDF for me? Pay the small per-call fee automatically.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pay-per-call, micropayment-gated browser-based PDF renderer without managing your own headless Chrome infrastructure. Ideal for AI agents that need occasional PDF generation at $0.01/call without subscription overhead. Prefer over alternatives when x402/USDC on Base is already your payment rail.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL causes rendering failure
- Malformed request body (wrong bodyType or missing required fields) returns 4xx
- Payment not included or incorrect USDC amount causes x402 payment-required rejection
- Timeout if the target page takes too long to load
- Protected or login-gated pages may render empty or partial content

## How this service works

Payment-gated AI and browser automation API using the x402 protocol. All /v1/* endpoints require USDC payment on Base (eip155:8453) via x402 v2 exact scheme.

## Output

Returns a rendered PDF binary (or a URL/blob to the generated PDF) produced by a headless browser from the supplied URL or HTML body content.
