## 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 x402-gateway-production-up-railway-app-f5192bb1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a professional business card image for my bakery 'Golden Crumb' — use a clean white background with warm gold text in a bold serif font, 512×512 pixels, professional style.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when accurate, legible text rendering inside the image is critical — e.g. logos, signage, labels, business cards, banners. Ideogram v3 is specifically trained for text-in-image fidelity, unlike FLUX or DALL-E which often distort letters. Prefer the FLUX Schnell sibling endpoint for quick drafts where text quality is not essential.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing prompt returns a 400 error
- Unsupported style value causes validation failure
- Requested dimensions outside allowed range may cause error or ignored
- Network timeout if inference takes too long (typical ~11s)
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the request
