## 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-screenshot-api-17538941 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take a screenshot of https://example.com and give me the resulting image — I'll pay the $0.01 USDC fee via x402 on Base.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pay-per-use, no-subscription browser screenshot with micropayment billing via the x402 protocol on Base (USDC). Ideal for AI agents that need on-demand visual page captures without managing API keys or subscriptions, especially in crypto-native or agent-to-agent workflows where x402 payment flows are already supported.

## Known failure modes

- Target URL is unreachable or returns an error — screenshot may fail or return a blank/error page render
- Invalid or malformed URL input causes request rejection
- x402 payment not included or insufficient USDC balance causes HTTP 402 response before processing begins
- Page requires JavaScript-heavy rendering that times out
- Protected or login-gated pages return a login screen rather than the intended 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 visual screenshot of the target web page, likely as an image file or base64-encoded image data, reflecting the page's live appearance at the time of the request.
