## 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-b791366c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the recent media posts from the Instagram account @natgeo — I need the image URLs, captions, and engagement counts?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need Instagram media data without managing your own Meta Developer App credentials or API approval process, and when pay-per-request USDC billing is acceptable. Prefer this over direct Instagram Graph API when you want a simple, no-setup HTTP call with crypto micropayments.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or private Instagram account returns empty or error result
- Missing or malformed request body causes 400-level error
- Instagram rate limiting or account restrictions may cause data unavailability
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) blocks the request with 402 response
- Endpoint may return stale or cached data if Instagram API limits are hit
