## 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-scraper-62ee7da4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Fetch up to 50 comments from this Instagram post — https://www.instagram.com/p/ABC123xyz/ — and give me the comment text, like counts, and timestamps.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable Instagram comment data without managing Instagram API credentials, OAuth tokens, or account registration. It is particularly useful for agents that need to quickly analyze audience sentiment, monitor brand mentions, or research engagement on specific posts, paying only per call in USDC with no subscription required.

## Known failure modes

- Private or restricted Instagram post returns an error or empty result
- Invalid or malformed Instagram URL returns a 400 error
- Rate limiting or Instagram anti-bot measures may cause failures
- Limit parameter outside 1-100 range is rejected
- Post has zero comments returns empty array
- Payment not received or insufficient USDC balance causes 402 rejection

## How this service works

Unblock any URL as Markdown, or get search, social, maps, jobs and news as data. Paid per call in stablecoins over x402 or MPP, with no account.

## Output

Returns a JSON array of comment objects, each containing comment ID, comment text, timestamp of posting, like count, reply count, whether the comment is pinned, whether it's by the post owner, whether the user liked it, and whether the text was truncated.
