# vaaya.ai Image Object Detection (Google Lens)

> vaaya.ai Image Object Detection (Google Lens) is a paid API for AI agents from vaaya.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-21).

Detects and identifies objects in an image URL — including landmarks, places, plants, animals, and products — returning labels, bounding boxes, and confidence scores via Google Lens.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 vaaya-ai-image-object-detection-google-lens-47e9b7b1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What objects, landmarks, or animals can you detect in this image? Run it through Google Lens object detection: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a7/Camponotus_flavomarginatus_ant.jpg

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured object detection with bounding boxes and confidence scores from a publicly accessible image URL, especially for identifying diverse entity types like landmarks, products, animals, and plants. Prefer it over generic image description endpoints when you need precise spatial location (bounding boxes) of each object. Google Lens as the underlying engine gives it strong coverage for real-world products, landmarks, and species.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible image URL returns an error
- Image URL that requires authentication or redirects may fail
- Very low-resolution or heavily compressed images may yield poor detection
- Uncommon or highly niche objects may return low-confidence or no results
- Rate limiting or timeouts on the underlying Google Lens service can cause failures

## How this service works

Objects in an image `url`: landmarks, places, plants, animals, products and other things with label, bounding box and confidence, from Google Lens.

## Output

Returns a list of detected objects in the image, each with a human-readable label (e.g. 'golden retriever', 'Eiffel Tower', 'rose'), a bounding box indicating location within the image, and a confidence score indicating detection certainty. May also include category metadata (landmark, animal, plant, product, etc.).
