## 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-looter-6c60364a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scrape all the recent posts and profile details from the Instagram account @natgeo — I need the captions, media URLs, like counts, and hashtags?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic access to publicly available Instagram data without managing your own scraping infrastructure. Suitable for social media monitoring, influencer research, competitive analysis, and content auditing where official Instagram API access is unavailable or quota-restricted.

## Known failure modes

- Private or restricted accounts return no data
- Instagram rate-limiting or blocking may cause failures
- Invalid or non-existent username returns an error
- Instagram HTML/API changes may break scraping logic
- Endpoint may return incomplete data for accounts with very large followings
