## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability instagram-post-reel-info-scraper-b779b22e
```

Example prompt: Can you pull all the details from this Instagram post — caption, likes, author, and post date — for this URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/ABC123XYZ/?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured metadata from a specific public Instagram post or reel by URL, especially for influencer analysis, content auditing, social monitoring, or data enrichment workflows. Prefer this over manual scraping or Instagram's official Graph API when you need quick, low-cost, per-post lookup without OAuth setup.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed Instagram URL results in a failed request
- Deleted posts return empty or 404-like responses
- Instagram rate limiting may cause intermittent failures
