## 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-video-transcript-extractor-2acdc711 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you transcribe the spoken content from this Instagram Reel for me: https://www.instagram.com/reel/ABC123xyz/ — detect the language automatically and skip any video longer than 10 minutes?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract spoken-word transcripts and structured metadata from public Instagram Reels or videos, especially in pay-per-result scenarios where you only want to pay on success. Prefer it for bulk batch processing of multiple Instagram URLs in a single call, or when you need automatic language detection without pre-specifying the spoken language. It is purpose-built for Instagram content and not suitable for YouTube, TikTok, or other platforms.

## Known failure modes

- Private or restricted Instagram accounts return empty results and are not charged
- Invalid or malformed Instagram URLs produce no results
- Videos exceeding maxVideoMinutes are skipped entirely
- Deleted or unavailable posts return null fields
- Rate limiting or Instagram access blocks may cause empty responses
- Unsupported URL formats (non-Reel, non-video posts) may yield partial or no transcript
