## 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 grov-instagram-comments-api-cf995c1a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Buy me some real Instagram comments on this post — https://www.instagram.com/p/ABC123/ — have people say something positive about the photo, pay with USDC.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real, human-written Instagram comments fulfilled by micro-taskers rather than bot-generated text, and when you can pay in USDC via the x402 protocol. Prefer this over generic social media APIs when Instagram comment engagement specifically is the goal and crypto-native payment is acceptable or preferred.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance — payment fails and order is not created
- Invalid or inaccessible Instagram post URL — order may be rejected or unfulfilled
- x402 payment protocol error — USDC transaction not confirmed
- Lost secret token — no way to retrieve order status without it
- Order created but human taskers are slow or unavailable — delayed fulfillment
- Rate limiting or duplicate order rejection

## How this service works

Buy followers, likes, views, comments and more for X (Twitter), Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Telegram and Spotify. Shop by card or crypto wallet, or use the AI agent API.

## Output

A JSON object confirming the order was placed and paid, including: a boolean 'ok' and 'paid' status, a 'secret' token to track the order (must be saved), an 'orderId', and a 'statusUrl' where the agent can check order progress.
