## 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 kiteendpoints-ai-instagram-cheap-data-endpoint-9136725e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Grab Instagram data for user 'cristiano' using the cheap KiteEndpoints IG lookup — I just need the basic profile info.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need low-cost ($0.05/call) Instagram data retrieval and are already set up with USDC on Base chain via x402 payment protocol. Prefer this over official Instagram APIs when cost-efficiency matters and unofficial data access is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing input payload returns error
- Instagram rate limiting or blocking causes empty or error result
- USDC payment failure on Base chain blocks request
- Endpoint unavailable if vercel deployment is down
- Unsupported Instagram account type may return incomplete data
