## 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 anyapi-instagram-profile-lookup-b293e5d1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the Instagram profile for 'natgeo' — I want to see their follower count, bio, whether they're verified, and their avatar URL?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured public profile data for a specific Instagram account by username, especially for influencer research, brand monitoring, or social enrichment pipelines. Prefer this over manual scraping when you need clean, structured fields like follower count and verification status in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Username not found — returns found: false with null data
- Private or deactivated account — may return found: false or empty data
- Invalid or missing handle input — likely returns a validation error
- Rate limiting or upstream Instagram API issues — may return an error response
- Typo in handle — returns not found rather than suggesting corrections
