## 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-media-api-83603b99 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the recent media posts from the Instagram account @natgeo — I want to see the image URLs, captions, and engagement numbers for their last 10 posts?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic access to Instagram media data without managing the official Meta Graph API credentials, or when you want a pay-per-request model rather than a subscription. Best for ad-hoc lookups, agent workflows, or when official API access is unavailable.

## Known failure modes

- Private or restricted Instagram accounts may return no data or an access error
- Invalid or non-existent Instagram username/ID returns empty result or error
- Rate limiting or blocks from Instagram may cause failed lookups
- Stale or cached data if Instagram has recently updated the account
- Payment failure in USDC may block the request before it reaches Instagram
