## 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 utilsforagents-com-6d677105 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the EXIF metadata out of this JPEG photo? I want to see the GPS coordinates, the timestamp, and the camera make and model.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to read metadata already embedded in a JPEG image, such as extracting GPS location, camera model, or shooting settings. Prefer this over generic image analysis when you specifically need structured EXIF/camera metadata rather than visual content recognition. Complementary to the EXIF-stripping endpoint on the same service when you need to inspect before cleaning.

## Known failure modes

- Image exceeds 5 MB limit — rejected with file size error
- Non-JPEG file format submitted — returns unsupported format error
- Image has no EXIF data embedded — returns empty or null fields
- Malformed or corrupt JPEG binary — returns parse error
- Missing or incorrect Content-Type header — returns bad request error

## How this service works

Extract EXIF metadata from a JPEG image. Returns structured fields including camera make/model, GPS coordinates, timestamp, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and more. Useful for reading location data from photos, auditing camera settings, or checking what metadata is embedded in an image. Send the image as a raw binary body (Content-Type: image/jpeg) or multipart/form-data with field name 'file'. Max 5 MB.

## Output

Returns structured EXIF metadata fields including camera make/model, GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude), capture timestamp, aperture (f-stop), shutter speed, ISO, and other embedded metadata from the JPEG image.
