## 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-data-api-224680e0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the Instagram profile for username 'natgeo' and pull their latest public info — return up to 10 results?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically access Instagram profile or content data and want to pay per call using USDC on Base Mainnet via the x402 protocol, avoiding subscription-based Instagram data services. Ideal for AI agents and bots that need on-demand Instagram lookups without committing to a monthly plan.
