## 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-hashtag-posts-fetcher-fetcher-sh-e2040edb
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest Instagram posts for the hashtag #sustainablefashion so I can see what content is trending under that tag right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need Instagram hashtag post data without setting up OAuth, creating an Instagram developer app, or managing subscriptions. It is ideal for one-off or programmatic lookups of hashtag content, brand monitoring, trend research, or marketing analytics where pay-per-call pricing via USDC is acceptable and no persistent Instagram account credentials are needed.

## Known failure modes

- Hashtag not found or returns zero posts (empty result set)
- Instagram anti-scraping measures temporarily block the request (503 or rate-limit response)
- Hashtag name contains special characters or spaces causing malformed URL
- Payment failure via x402 results in 402 response and no data returned
- Private or restricted hashtag content may be excluded from results
- Stale or cached results if Instagram has recently throttled scraping
