## 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 basebuilder-ai-instagram-viewer-api-78dc7bbe -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the public Instagram profile info for @natgeo — I want to see their follower count, bio, and recent posts?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve public Instagram profile and post data programmatically without Instagram API credentials or OAuth. Ideal for influencer research, social media monitoring, or building tools that surface Instagram analytics. Choose this over direct Instagram API calls when you want a simple paid-per-call model without managing app credentials.

## Known failure modes

- Private or restricted Instagram account returns no data or access denied error
- Invalid or non-existent username returns 404 or empty result
- Instagram rate limiting may cause intermittent failures
- Payment not processed results in 402 response blocking the request
