## 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-user-posts-fetcher-def18a2b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest posts from Instagram user @natgeo — and if there are multiple pages, go through all of them.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve posts from a specific Instagram user's public profile by handle, especially when paginating through large post histories. The continuation billing model makes it cost-effective for multi-page retrieval. Prefer this over generic web scrapers when you need structured Instagram post data rather than raw HTML.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Instagram handle returns an error or empty result
- Private Instagram accounts may return no posts or an access error
- Rate limiting or Instagram anti-scraping measures may cause failures
- Missing or stale pagination token causes pagination to restart
- Changing filter parameters while passing parentRequestId starts a new billable request

## How this service works

Fetches paginated posts from an Instagram user. Pagination billing: call the first page normally and save billing.requestId from the Orthogonal /v1/run response. For later page, offset, or cursor calls on the same logical search, pass parentRequestId with unchanged non-pagination parameters. Valid continuation calls still get their own request IDs and quoted price, but are charged 0. Changing filters starts a new billable request.

## Output

Returns a paginated list of posts from the specified Instagram user, including post content, metadata, and a nextPageToken for fetching subsequent pages. Subsequent pages of the same request can be fetched at no additional charge by passing the parentRequestId.
