## 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 x402tools-styled-qr-code-generator-246836ea -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a styled QR code for https://myshop.com — use rounded dots in #1a1a2e on a white background, 512 pixels, and give it back as a PNG.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a visually customized QR code — with specific dot styles (rounded, dots, diamond, star, square), custom colors, gradients, or branded aesthetics — rather than a plain black-and-white QR code. Ideal when the output needs to match a brand palette or be embedded directly in a web page or document as a base64 data URL.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty `text` field returns an error
- Invalid hex color strings may cause rendering failure
- Unsupported format enum value returns validation error
- Oversized `size` values may time out or be rejected
- Gradient object missing `from` or `to` fields may produce unexpected output

## How this service works

Generate a branded, artistic QR code with custom colors, dot shapes, and gradients. Returns PNG, SVG, or Base64. Use for designer QR codes, logo QR codes, and styled marketing barcodes.

## Output

A JSON object containing a `dataUrl` field with the QR code image encoded as a data URI (e.g. data:image/png;base64,...), ready for display or embedding.
