## 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 instagram-account-checker-c59d3352 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check the Instagram account 'natgeo' and tell me if it's active and what basic info you can find on it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, low-cost check on an Instagram account's existence or basic profile status via a simple query string. At $0.07 USDC per call with x402 micropayment on Base chain, it is suitable for individual lookups rather than bulk data collection.

## Known failure modes

- Account not found or username does not exist on Instagram
- Invalid or malformed query string
- Payment failure via x402 micropayment on Base chain
- Rate limiting or upstream Instagram API restriction
- Ambiguous query returning no results
