## 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 xona-agent-short-video-generation-64e4ee4f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a 10-second video of a golden retriever puppy playing in autumn leaves, with a 16:9 aspect ratio, using the Grok video model.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a short (10-second), high-quality AI-generated video clip powered specifically by xAI's Grok Imagine Video model — especially useful when Grok's visual style is preferred or when integrating into a crypto-native (x402/USDC payment) workflow. Prefer this over generic video generation APIs when you want Grok's specific aesthetic or when operating in a pay-per-call agent environment.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or empty prompt returns an error
- Unsupported aspect ratio value causes rejection
- Inaccessible or malformed image_url for image-to-video fails gracefully
- Model timeout or generation failure due to Grok API unavailability
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the request
