## 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 basebuilder2-social-instagram-profile-media-47b21bbe -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull all the recent media posts from the Instagram profile @natgeo so I can see what content they've been posting lately?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically retrieve the media post history of a specific Instagram profile, especially for influencer research, brand monitoring, or content aggregation workflows. Prefer it over manual scraping or generic social APIs when you need a pay-per-call model without a long-term API subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Private or restricted Instagram profile returns no media or an access error
- Invalid or non-existent Instagram username returns a 404 or empty result
- Instagram rate-limiting or scraping blocks cause timeouts or partial results
- Stale or cached data may not reflect the most recent posts
- Payment failure via x402 returns 402 before any data is fetched
