## 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 meterly-ai-instagram-api-0717cb5f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Look up the Instagram profile for username 'natgeo' and return up to 10 recent posts or profile details.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic access to Instagram profile or post data and are operating in an agent environment that supports x402 USDC micropayments on Base Mainnet. Prefer this over scraping or building your own Instagram integration when you need a pay-per-call model with no subscription commitment.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Instagram username returns empty or error response
- Payment failure via x402/USDC results in 402 response blocking the call
- Rate limiting or Instagram API restrictions cause partial or failed data retrieval
- Missing required 'query' field returns a validation error
- Private Instagram accounts may return limited or no data
