## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability instagram-post-comments-fetcher-01b34ef8
```

Example prompt: Grab all the comments on the Instagram post with ID ABC123 so I can see what people are saying about it.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need comment-level data from a specific Instagram post without setting up Instagram Graph API credentials or OAuth. Ideal for agents doing social listening, sentiment analysis, or influencer research on a pay-per-call basis using crypto micropayments. Best for cases where you have a known post ID and need the discussion thread without a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent post ID returns 404 or empty result
- Post may be private or restricted, resulting in no comments returned
- Instagram rate limiting or anti-scraping measures may cause intermittent failures
- Post with no comments returns empty array
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the request with a 402 response
