## 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 agdata-instagram-comments-api-8b68c988 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Grab up to 50 comments from this Instagram post — https://www.instagram.com/p/ABC123/ — and give me the text, timestamp, and like count for each one.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured comment data (text, time, likes, reply counts) from a specific Instagram post or reel as JSON, especially in pay-per-call agentic workflows using stablecoins. Prefer this over general web scrapers when you need reliably parsed Instagram comment fields without building your own scraping infrastructure, and when commenter identity is not required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or private Instagram URL — post may be private or deleted, returns error
- URL is not an Instagram post or reel — wrong domain or malformed link
- Limit parameter out of range — must be between 1 and 100
- Post has no comments — returns empty array
- Rate limit or temporary block from Instagram — upstream scraping failure
- Payment processing failure — USDC transaction not completed
