## 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`):

Example prompt: Can you download the Instagram story from this URL for me so I can save the video before it expires?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically download or archive Instagram story media (video or image) before it expires, especially in automated workflows that monitor social media content. Prefer this over manual screenshot tools when you need the actual media file URL rather than a static image capture.

## Known failure modes

- Story has expired (Instagram stories last 24 hours) — returns empty or error result
- Private account with no access — returns authorization error
- Invalid or malformed story URL — returns parsing error
- Instagram rate limiting or anti-scraping measures — returns timeout or block error
- Story URL no longer valid or media deleted — returns not found error
