## 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 util-beauty-browser-pdf-generator-39b28405 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you convert the webpage at https://example.com/report into a PDF for me? I need it saved as a document I can download.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pay-per-use, no-infrastructure headless browser PDF renderer accessible over HTTP with micropayment billing via USDC (x402 protocol) or prepaid API keys. It's ideal for AI agents that need on-demand PDF generation without managing their own Puppeteer or Playwright infrastructure. Prefer it over self-hosted solutions when cost-per-call economics work and you want zero DevOps overhead.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — PDF generation fails with an error
- Page takes too long to load and times out — request fails
- Invalid or malformed request body — returns validation error
- Insufficient credits or payment failure — request rejected with payment required error
- Rendering error on complex or JavaScript-heavy pages — may return partial or blank PDF

## How this service works

Metered web utilities for developers and AI agents: browser screenshot and PDF, crypto, DNS and net tools. Pay per request with x402 (USDC on Base) or prepaid API keys.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a success flag, a utility identifier string, a unique requestId for tracking, and the number of credits charged. The actual PDF binary is returned as part of the response body or as a downloadable artifact depending on the API configuration.
