## 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-snapshot-api-9de8bfb5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take a browser snapshot of the webpage at https://example.com and return what it looks like right now — use the Tanship browser snapshot endpoint.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a rendered, JavaScript-executed snapshot of a webpage (not just raw HTML) and are comfortable paying micro-amounts of USDC via the x402 protocol on Base. Ideal for AI agents that need visual or DOM state of dynamic pages without managing browser infrastructure themselves.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL results in a browser navigation error
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC causes a 402 Payment Required response
- Malformed request body (wrong bodyType or missing required fields) returns a 400 error
- Target page blocks headless browsers and returns a bot-detection error
- Timeout if the target page takes too long to load

## 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 browser snapshot representing the current visual and/or DOM state of a rendered webpage, captured via a headless browser. May include screenshot image data, page HTML, or rendered content depending on the body parameters supplied.
