## 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 tinstop-website-screenshot-api-295ec449 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you take a screenshot of https://example.com and show me how it looks on mobile?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pay-per-call, no-account screenshot service with x402/USDC micropayment support, especially within automated agent pipelines that require web visual capture without managing API keys. Ideal for one-off or low-frequency screenshot needs where subscription overhead is undesirable.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error response
- Payment not accepted due to insufficient USDC balance or x402 misconfiguration
- Timeout if the target page is slow to load
- Invalid viewport value (not 'desktop' or 'mobile') may cause a validation error
- Pages requiring authentication or behind paywalls may render incorrectly or show login screens

## How this service works

Tinstop is a machine-payable Website Intelligence API for domain security and performance audits: DNS, SSL/TLS, HTTP security headers, SPF/DKIM/DMARC email authentication, and Google PageSpeed. Pay per call with x402 using USDC on Base. No accounts or API keys.

## Output
