## 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-simple-data-fetcher-be2e4921 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the public Instagram profile data for the account @natgeo — I want their follower count, bio, and any basic stats you can get?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-use access to basic Instagram public profile or post data without setting up an official Instagram API integration. It is best suited for one-off lookups, lightweight scraping tasks, or agent workflows that need social media data on demand and can pay per request in USDC. Avoid if you need bulk data, high-volume scraping, or guaranteed uptime SLAs.

## Known failure modes

- Instagram rate limiting or blocking may return failure
- Ambiguous input schema may require trial-and-error with request body format
