## 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 visual-dx-hugen-tokyo-6bb2e676
```

Example prompt: Can you take a screenshot of https://example.com and show me what it looks like right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a visual capture or screenshot of a webpage or URL as an image, especially in automated pipelines where seeing the rendered visual output matters. Prefer this over PDF generation (the sibling endpoint) when you need a lightweight image rather than a document.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error response
- Timeout if the target page takes too long to load
- Private or localhost URLs may be blocked
- Pages requiring authentication may render partially or fail
- Payment not processed results in 402 status before screenshot is generated

## How this service works

## Output
