## 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 influship-instagram-profile-lookup-e8787d1a
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the Influship profile for the Instagram account 'whitneyjohns' — I need their bio, follower count, and engagement data?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, low-cost lookup of a known Instagram creator's profile data from Influship's indexed database. Prefer this over live scraping endpoints when you want cached data at $0.01 per call rather than real-time Instagram scraping. Best suited for known creators already in the Influship index rather than newly discovered accounts.

## Known failure modes

- Profile not found in Influship database — unknown or unindexed Instagram username returns 404
- Payment authorization failure via x402 protocol — insufficient USDC balance or missing payment header
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded — too many requests in a short period
- Instagram username changed or account deleted — stale data or missing record
- Invalid path parameter format returns 400 bad request
