## 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-scraper-6f13fc9e
```

Example prompt: Pull the live Instagram profile data for the account @heavymanners — I need their follower count, bio, and post stats right now.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, live Instagram profile data for a specific user without going through Instagram's official API (which requires OAuth and app review). Ideal for influencer research, competitive analysis, or monitoring public account stats programmatically at low per-call cost.

## Known failure modes

- Profile does not exist or has been deleted — returns 404 or empty response
- Instagram rate limiting or blocking causes scrape failure — returns error or timeout
- Private account cannot be scraped — returns limited or no data
- Username is misspelled — no results returned
- Instagram layout changes break scraper — returns malformed or incomplete data
