## 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 facebook-profile-scraper-c55fd632 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Scrape the public Facebook profiles at facebook.com/zuck and facebook.com/meta and give me their structured data — name, username, profile ID, and account type — up to 50 profiles.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable public Facebook profile data at scale without building your own scraper. It is pay-per-call with no charge for failed/empty runs, making it cost-efficient for variable workloads. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when you specifically need normalized Facebook profile fields like profileId, username, accountType, and recordType.

## Known failure modes

- Private or restricted profile returns empty or null fields
- Invalid or malformed Facebook URL returns no results
- Profile no longer exists returns empty item
- Rate limits or blocks from Facebook result in failed run (not charged)
- maxItems exceeded 1000 returns validation error

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a count of scraped profiles and an array of items, each containing the profile URL, name, username, profile ID, source URL, record type, account type, and status. Failed or empty runs are not billed.
