## 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 api-portalsprotocol-com-12590d69 -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Post this photo to our Instagram account with the caption 'Loving the summer vibes ☀️ #summer #vibes' and tag it with our brand hashtags.

## When to prefer this
