## 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

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic, authenticated-payment access to Instagram media downloads without managing your own scraper infrastructure. It is suitable for AI agents that must retrieve Instagram content on demand and can pay per call in USDC via the x402 protocol on Base Mainnet. Prefer this over building a custom scraper when low-maintenance, pay-as-you-go access is preferred and you are already operating within the Meterly.Ai API ecosystem.

## Known failure modes

- Private or restricted account: returns error if the Instagram profile or post is private and not publicly accessible
- Invalid URL: malformed or non-Instagram URLs may result in a parsing error or empty response
- Rate limiting or Instagram blocks: the underlying scraper may be blocked by Instagram, resulting in failed or empty responses
- Content removed: if the post has been deleted, the API will return no media data
- Missing required query field: omitting the 'query' parameter will cause a validation error
