## 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-tanship-dev-text-to-image-flux-1-schnell-8120d262 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate an image of a golden retriever puppy playing in autumn leaves in a sunny park — make it photorealistic and warm-toned.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need fast, cheap ($0.02 USDC) AI image generation from text and are already operating in an x402 micropayment context. FLUX.1 schnell is optimized for speed over quality, making it ideal for rapid prototyping or high-volume generation. Prefer this over heavier alternatives when latency and cost matter more than photorealistic fidelity.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing prompt body results in a 400 error
- Payment not provided or invalid x402 payment header causes a 402 Payment Required response
- Prompt triggers content policy violation and is rejected
- Model timeout or Workers AI backend unavailability returns a 5xx error
- Malformed request body type (not matching bodyType enum) causes parsing failure
