## 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-live-instagram-profile-scraper-0121187c
```

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, live Instagram profile data for a specific handle — especially for influencer research, creator vetting, or audience size verification. Prefer this over cached or batch solutions when freshness matters and you need current follower counts, bios, or profile details. Best suited for single-profile lookups rather than bulk queries.

## Known failure modes

- Instagram account not found or handle misspelled — returns 404 or empty result
- Instagram rate limiting or blocking scraper — may return partial or no data
- Private Instagram account — publicly accessible data may be limited
- Payment not processed — 402 response requiring USDC payment
- Temporary Instagram downtime or scraping failure — service unavailable or timeout
