## 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 verifik-ai-face-recognition-detect-61991991 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Detect faces in this photo and search for matches with a minimum score of 0.8 in fast search mode against collection 'kyc-latam-2024', returning up to 3 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to perform facial recognition or identity verification against a curated collection, especially for KYC/KYB workflows in Latin America. Prefer this over generic face APIs when you need pay-per-call pricing with no subscription, LATAM-specific compliance coverage, and cryptographically signed responses.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreadable image format returns an error
- No faces detected in the provided image
- Collection ID not found or inaccessible
- min_score out of valid range causes rejection
- search_mode value not recognized
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the call
- Image too low resolution for reliable detection
