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-profile-media-fetcher-98b24fa7 -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Pull all the recent media posts and profile info for the Instagram account @natgeo — I need the post captions, media URLs, timestamps, and like counts.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically retrieve media content and metadata from a public Instagram profile, especially for influencer research, content aggregation, competitor analysis, or social media monitoring. Prefer this over manual scraping or direct Instagram API (which requires approved app credentials).
