## 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 gedx402-social-instagram-posts-fetcher-4fcb8c3e
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest Instagram posts for the handle 'natgeo' using SociaVault — trim the results and start from the beginning (no pagination cursor).

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically fetch Instagram posts for a specific user handle without the official Instagram Graph API, paying per call via x402 USDC micropayments. Prefer this over scraping directly when you need a managed proxy that handles authentication complexity.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Instagram handle returns empty data or error
- Expired or invalid x402 payment results in 402 response
- Rate limiting or Instagram-side blocking may return empty or partial data
- Missing required 'handle' parameter causes malformed request
- Invalid next_max_id cursor may restart pagination or return error

## How this service works

SociaVault API proxy — instagram-posts. Query/body matches https://docs.sociavault.com/api-reference/openapi.json. GET/POST per route; x402 per call. $0.014 USDC per request.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' field containing Instagram post objects for the requested handle, a 'success' boolean, and a 'provider' field set to 'sociavault'. Pagination is supported via a next_max_id cursor in subsequent requests.
