## 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-data-withzero-ai-instagram-batch-profile-fetcher-sync-web-3a27f25e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the Instagram profile data and latest posts for these 5 accounts — @natgeo, @nasa, @nike, @apple, and @netflix — and only include reels posted after January 1, 2025?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to fetch Instagram profile and post data for multiple accounts (up to 25) in a single synchronous call, especially when you want near-real-time results without waiting for an async job. It is ideal for influencer research, competitive monitoring, content audits, or bulk account enrichment workflows. Prefer this over the single-handle endpoint when batching is needed for efficiency and cost-effectiveness at $0.0011 per handle.

## Known failure modes

- Handle not found or account deleted — result may be empty or omitted
- Private account — posts array may be empty, account metadata still returned
- Exceeding 25 handles in a single request — validation error
- Invalid since_ts format — posts may not be filtered correctly
- Both only_reels and exclude_reels set to true simultaneously — undefined behavior
- Rate limiting or Web Unlocker block — upstream fetch failure for one or more handles
- Network timeout for slow Instagram responses — partial results possible

## How this service works

Batch fetch 1–25 handles concurrently (sync, Web Unlocker). Each result carries account metadata + the first ~12 posts + pageInfo. Filters: since_ts, max_posts (1–12), only_reels, exclude_reels. Flat $0.0011 per handle.

## Output

Returns a structured JSON object with a results array, one entry per handle, each containing: account metadata (follower count, post count, verified status, private status, last post date), an array of up to 12 recent posts (with id, shortcode, URL, type, caption, like/comment/view counts, thumbnail, and timestamp), and pageInfo (hasNextPage, endCursor) for pagination. Also includes fetchedAt timestamp and apiVersion.
