Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability coockies-ai-instagram-api-scraper-d615aae3 -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Can you scrape the public Instagram profile for @natgeo and give me their follower count, bio, and recent post stats?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-call access to public Instagram profile or post data without setting up or paying for the official Instagram Graph API. Ideal for one-off lookups, influencer research, or competitor monitoring where you don't want to manage OAuth tokens or app review processes.

## Known failure modes

- Instagram rate limiting or blocking the scraper returns an error or empty result
- Private/protected accounts return no data since only public data is accessible
- Invalid username or URL returns an empty or error response
- Instagram UI/API changes may break the scraper and return malformed data
- Vercel cold start may cause occasional timeout on first call
