## 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 blackbobs-ai-instagram-looter-75650221 -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Can you scrape the public Instagram profile data for the account @natgeo — I want their bio, follower count, and the latest post URLs?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically extract public Instagram profile or post data without using the official Instagram Graph API, particularly for quick lookups, research, or competitive analysis where OAuth authentication is not available or practical.

## Known failure modes

- Private or restricted Instagram account returns no data or access denied error
- Invalid or non-existent Instagram username causes a lookup failure
- Instagram rate limiting or anti-scraping blocks may cause timeouts or empty responses
- Malformed input object results in a generic API error
- Instagram may change its internal structure causing partial or broken data extraction
