## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically download or extract media from a specific Instagram post URL. Prefer this over manual browser downloads or other scraping tools when you need a pay-per-request, no-subscription approach via USDC micropayments on Base chain.

## Known failure modes

- Private or restricted Instagram account — post not accessible, returns error
- Invalid or malformed Instagram post URL — returns validation error
- Post has been deleted or no longer exists — returns not found error
- Rate limiting or Instagram blocking the scraper — returns service unavailable
- Post contains no downloadable media (e.g. text-only) — returns empty media array
