## 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-stories-full-scraper-851b5559 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch all the current Instagram stories for the account @natgeo, including the media URLs and timestamps for each story?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need full story data (media, metadata, timestamps) from a specific Instagram account without maintaining your own Instagram scraping infrastructure or dealing with Instagram API rate limits and OAuth requirements. Ideal for one-off lookups or pay-as-you-go workflows where a monthly subscription scraping service would be wasteful.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Instagram username returns empty result or error
- Private Instagram account stories are inaccessible and return an access error
- Instagram rate limiting or anti-bot measures may cause temporary failures
- Expired or inactive stories return an empty stories array
- Malformed request body returns a 400-level error
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the request

## How this service works

1,200+ scraping and data APIs behind one key. Pay per request in real dollars. No subscriptions, nothing monthly, nothing to cancel.

## Output

A JSON object containing full details of the target Instagram account's active stories, including story IDs, media URLs (images/videos), timestamps, story types, durations, and available engagement or metadata fields for each story item.

## Response schema (JSON Schema)

```json
{
 "type": "json"
}
