## 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-5856a89d
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the live Instagram profile data for the account 'canarytest' — I need their current follower count, bio, and post stats for an influencer evaluation?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, live Instagram profile data for a specific username rather than cached or historical data. Ideal for influencer vetting, creator discovery workflows, or any use case where freshness of follower counts and profile metadata matters. Prefer over database-backed profile lookups when accuracy and recency are critical.

## Known failure modes

- Profile not found or username does not exist — likely 404 or empty response
- Private Instagram account — data may be unavailable or limited
- Instagram rate limiting or anti-scraping measures causing failed fetch
- Invalid or malformed username in path parameter
- Payment not processed — x402 payment required before data is returned
