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-social-api-25504164 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the Instagram profile stats for the account @natgeo — I need follower count, bio, post count, and recent engagement metrics?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-request Instagram social data without committing to a monthly subscription to a dedicated social analytics platform. It is suitable for one-off lookups, agent workflows that occasionally need Instagram data, or when building a multi-platform social aggregation pipeline using KiteEndpoints' hub approach with USDC micropayments on Base chain.

- Invalid or private Instagram username returns empty or error result
- Rate limiting from upstream Instagram data provider causes failed responses
- Malformed input object results in API error
- Account not found returns null or empty data fields
