```sh
zero fetch --capability kiteendpoints-instagram-stable-scraper-a40b0aab -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Can you scrape the public Instagram profile for @natgeo and give me their follower count, bio, and recent post metadata?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need public Instagram profile or post data without access to the official Instagram Graph API, or when the official API's access restrictions make it impractical. Useful for competitive intelligence, influencer vetting, or content monitoring at low per-request cost using USDC micropayments.

## Known failure modes

- Instagram rate limiting or IP blocking causing scrape failure
- Private or deleted account returns empty or error result
- Invalid username or URL returns null data
- Instagram DOM/API changes breaking the scraper (instability)
- Payment failure via USDC if wallet is underfunded
- Timeout if Instagram is slow to respond
