## 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 coockies-ai-instagram-scraper-api-9bf1685c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scrape the public Instagram profile for the username 'natgeo' and pull back their bio, follower count, and recent post metadata?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically access public Instagram profile or post data without going through Instagram's official (and heavily restricted) Graph API. It is especially useful for influencer research, competitor analysis, lead enrichment, or social media monitoring workflows where official API access is unavailable or rate-limited. Pay-per-call pricing via x402 on Base chain makes it suitable for sporadic, on-demand lookups rather than high-volume batch scraping.

## Known failure modes

- Private or non-existent Instagram accounts may return empty or error responses
- Instagram anti-scraping measures may cause intermittent failures or rate limits
- Malformed or missing input (no username/URL provided) may result in generic error responses
- Instagram UI/structure changes can break scraper logic, returning incomplete data
- Schema is minimal and generic — actual response structure may vary or be undocumented
