## 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-reels-scraper-x402-pay-per-call-a7f4d245 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the last 50 public reels from facebook.com/nike posted in the last 30 days and give me each reel's URL, post ID, and creation date.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured metadata for public Facebook reels from specific pages, especially for competitive intelligence, content auditing, or social media monitoring workflows. Prefer it over generic web scrapers because it returns a clean, normalized schema (reelUrl, postId, createdAt, etc.) without needing to parse raw HTML. The pay-only-on-success model makes it cost-effective for exploratory or intermittent tasks.

## Known failure modes

- Private or non-existent Facebook page returns empty items array (not charged)
- Invalid URL format in startUrls causes scrape failure
- Facebook anti-bot measures may intermittently block scraping, returning empty results
- onlyPostsNewerThan with an invalid date format may be ignored or cause an error
- resultsLimit of 0 on a page with very many reels may result in long run times or timeouts
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient before the call

## How this service works
