## 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-ea4d7bcd -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the public profile data and recent posts for the Instagram account @natgeo — grab up to 20 results?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically access public Instagram profile or post data without managing Instagram API credentials or OAuth. It is well-suited for influencer research, competitor analysis, content monitoring, and social media data enrichment in agent workflows that use USDC micropayments via the x402 protocol.

## Known failure modes

- Private or restricted Instagram accounts return no data or an access error
- Invalid or non-existent username/URL returns an empty result or 404-style error
- Instagram rate limiting or blocking causes failed or incomplete scrapes
- Malformed query input may result in a generic error response
- Payment failure over x402/USDC may prevent the request from being processed
