## 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-fast-api-94f94239 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the public profile data for the Instagram account @natgeo — I need their follower count, bio, and recent post engagement stats?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, on-demand Instagram profile or post data without managing Instagram API credentials yourself, and when pay-per-request USDC micropayment billing is preferred over monthly subscriptions. Ideal for agents that occasionally need Instagram data without high-volume commitments.

## Known failure modes

- Private or non-existent Instagram account returns empty or error result
- Rate limiting from Instagram's backend causing delayed or failed responses
- Invalid username or post URL format leads to a bad request error
- Insufficient USDC balance causes payment failure before request is processed
- Instagram API changes or blocks may cause stale or missing data fields
