## 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 gocreative-instagram-hashtag-search-4c331961
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up Instagram posts for the hashtag #sustainability so I can see what content is trending under that tag?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to discover or analyze Instagram posts associated with a specific hashtag, such as for social media monitoring, brand research, influencer discovery, or content trend analysis. Prefer this over general web scraping when structured social media post data is needed without requiring an API key or signup, and when per-call USDC micropayment via x402 is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Hashtag not found or no posts exist — returns empty result or 404
- Private or restricted hashtag — returns no data or access-denied response
- Invalid or malformed hashtag argument — returns 400 bad request
- Payment failure via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required with payment details
- Rate limiting or upstream Instagram API restrictions — returns 429 or 503
- Special characters in hashtag not URL-encoded — returns error or unexpected results
