## 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-post-downloader-cd858fe4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you download the media from this Instagram post for me? Here's the link: https://www.instagram.com/p/ABC123xyz/

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically download or extract media from a specific Instagram post URL and do not have direct Instagram API credentials. It is well-suited for agents that need to archive, analyze, or repurpose Instagram content on demand without managing OAuth flows. Prefer this over building a custom scraper when you want a pay-per-request model via USDC on Base chain.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or private Instagram post URL returns an error or empty result
- Post from a private account cannot be accessed and returns an access-denied error
- Instagram rate limiting or blocking causes a failed fetch
- Deleted or expired post returns a not-found error
- Malformed post ID or shortcode returns a validation error
