## 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-stats-59e99b23 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the Instagram stats for the account @natgeo — I need follower count, following, and post count?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, on-demand Instagram profile statistics without setting up a direct Instagram API integration. Particularly useful for influencer vetting, competitive analysis, or social media monitoring tasks where you need follower and engagement data for arbitrary public profiles and want to pay per-request via USDC rather than maintain an API key.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Instagram username returns an error or empty result
- Private accounts may return limited or no data
- Rate limiting may cause failures if called too frequently
- Instagram platform changes may cause the underlying scraper to return stale or incomplete data
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) results in HTTP 402
