## 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-scraper-api-18adb11b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you scrape the Instagram profile for the username 'natgeo' and pull their latest 20 posts — I want to see their follower count, bio, and recent post engagement?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to extract public Instagram profile or post data programmatically without maintaining your own scraping infrastructure, and when you want to pay per-call in USDC via the x402 protocol rather than committing to a subscription. Ideal for agents doing one-off influencer research, brand monitoring, or content audits on Instagram.

## Known failure modes

- Private or restricted Instagram accounts may return no data or partial results
- Invalid username or malformed URL returns an error or empty response
- Rate limiting or Instagram anti-scraping measures may cause failures
- Exceeding the result limit parameter may truncate results
- Query returns empty results if no matching content is found
- USDC payment failure on Base Mainnet prevents API execution
