## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability influship-instagram-profile-scraper-9a4191bf
```

Example prompt: Pull the live Instagram profile data for @nike right now — I need their current follower count, bio, and post stats from Influship's scraper.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need live, real-time Instagram profile data without maintaining your own scraping infrastructure. Prefer this over cached data sources when recency matters (e.g. tracking follower growth, verifying current bio). Best suited for per-profile lookups rather than bulk discovery searches.

## Known failure modes

- Profile does not exist or is private — returns 404 or empty result
- Instagram rate limiting or blocking the scraper — returns 429 or timeout
- Invalid username format — returns 400 bad request
- Service downtime or scraping infrastructure failure — returns 5xx
- Payment not processed — returns 402 Payment Required
