## 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-hugen-tokyo-d8fbdf0c
```

Example prompt: Take a full-page screenshot of https://example.com at 1280x720 pixels in JPEG format with 80% quality, block ads and cookie banners, and use dark mode off — give me back the image and the page title.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a rendered visual of a public webpage without managing browser infrastructure, especially when device emulation (iPhone 15 Pro, Pixel 7, iPad Pro 12.9), dark mode rendering, or automatic ad/cookie banner removal is required. Ideal for agents that need visual verification, social previews, or archival snapshots on a per-capture pay-as-you-go basis.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — screenshot may fail or return blank
- Private or authentication-gated URLs cannot be captured
- Extremely large full-page captures may exceed size limits or be truncated
- Invalid CSS selector targets return an error or fall back to full viewport
- Unsupported device emulation names cause a validation error
- Payment not fulfilled in USDC causes a 402 response and no capture

## How this service works

Screenshot any public URL — returns base64 JPEG/PNG with metadata (page title, file size, render time). Full-page scroll capture, CSS selector targeting, device emulation (iPhone 15 Pro, Pixel 7, iPad Pro 12.9), dark mode, ad/cookie banner auto-removal. No browser infrastructure needed, no server costs. Pay per capture. Accepts USDC payments on Base and Solana

## Output

A base64-encoded JPEG or PNG image of the rendered webpage, along with metadata: page title, file size in bytes, and render time. The response may be truncated for large captures.
