## 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-56b27c89
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the live Instagram profile data for the account 'hammer_museum' — I need their current follower count, bio, and any other profile details available right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, live Instagram profile data for a specific public account, especially within an influencer discovery or vetting workflow. Prefer this over cached databases when freshness matters, such as verifying current follower counts or bios before an influencer campaign decision.

## Known failure modes

- Instagram account not found or handle misspelled — returns 404 or empty result
- Instagram rate limiting or blocking the scraper — returns error or timeout
- Account is private — limited or no data returned
- Payment not processed — x402 payment required error
- API service downtime — connection or server error
