Use this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-request way to download Instagram media (videos, reels, photos) without setting up your own scraping infrastructure. Best for low-to-medium volume use cases where you only pay $0.05 USDC per call and don't want to manage Instagram API credentials or scraping proxies yourself.

## Known failure modes

- Private or restricted Instagram account — returns error or empty result
- Invalid or malformed Instagram URL — returns error
- Post has been deleted or expired — returns not found error
- Instagram rate limiting or anti-scraping blocks — may return failure or empty response
- Schema is generic and poorly documented, so exact error format is unclear
