## 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-social-instagram-media-api-10a3e7ae -d '<json body>'
```

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic access to Instagram media metadata and post details via a paid, x402-compatible API that settles in USDC, especially in automated agent workflows that require retrieving Instagram content without managing direct Meta API credentials.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing Instagram media ID returns an error response
- Expired or unauthorized credentials result in authentication failure
- Rate limiting may occur if the endpoint is called too frequently
- Non-existent media ID returns a not-found error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol prevents access to the endpoint
