## 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`):

Example prompt: Can you remove the background from this product photo? Here's the image data: [base64 string] — I want just the item isolated with a transparent background.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, API-accessible background removal service integrated into an agentic workflow, especially if you are already operating within an x402 micropayment context and need programmatic, per-call background stripping without a subscription UI.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed image data input returns an error
- Image too large or unsupported format may fail processing
- Non-image data passed in the 'data' field causes rejection
- Network timeout if the image is very complex
- Ambiguous foreground/background may result in partial or inaccurate removal

## How this service works

## Output

Returns processed image data with the background removed, leaving the foreground subject isolated — typically as a PNG with transparency where the background was.
