## 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-social-api-c963f8a9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the Instagram social data for a given account or post using the KiteEndpoints hub — I need profile or engagement info from Instagram right now.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need Instagram social media data and want pay-per-request pricing in USDC without a monthly subscription; prefer this over direct Instagram API access when you lack Instagram developer credentials or need a simple HTTP proxy with crypto micropayment billing.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing Instagram query parameters returns an error result
- Insufficient USDC balance or payment failure returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting or upstream Instagram API downtime returns a service error
- Malformed request body returns a schema validation error
- Private or restricted Instagram accounts may return empty or partial data
