## 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-stories-downloader-dd3ad13c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Download all the current Instagram Stories from the account @natgeo so I can save the media files locally.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically download or save Instagram Stories content (images/videos) from public Instagram accounts before they expire. Prefer this over general Instagram scrapers when specifically targeting Stories (not posts or reels).

## Known failure modes

- Private account stories not accessible without authentication
- Story has expired (Instagram stories last 24 hours)
- Invalid or non-existent Instagram username returns error
- Rate limiting from Instagram's backend
- Story URL malformed or incorrect format
- Account has no active stories
