## 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 x402engine-image-text-generation-ideogram-v3-88681691 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you generate a square logo image with the text 'Morning Bloom' on it — something clean and professional for a coffee shop brand?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when accurate, legible text rendering inside an image is the primary requirement — e.g. logos, signs, labels, banners, or posters. Ideogram v3 outperforms most general image generators on typography accuracy. Prefer this over generic image generation endpoints when the prompt includes specific words or phrases that must appear correctly spelled in the output.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty prompt field returns validation error
- Invalid image_size value may cause rejection
- Very complex or ambiguous prompts may produce images where text is partially misrendered
- Network timeout or upstream Ideogram API unavailability
- Payment failure via x402 micropayment protocol ($0.12 USDC required per call)

## How this service works

Image generation with accurate text rendering using Ideogram v3 (best for logos, signage)

## Output

Returns a generated image where the specified text from the prompt is accurately and legibly rendered within the visual, produced by Ideogram v3 which excels at typographic fidelity in images. Output is typically a square image unless another size is specified.
