## 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 payweave-instagram-comments-fetcher-9c56bd01 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull me the top 30 comments from this Instagram post? Here's the URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/ABC123456/

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically extract comments from a specific Instagram post or reel and want a pay-per-call model without managing Instagram API credentials or developer app approval. It is well-suited for ad-hoc comment extraction, competitor research, sentiment data collection, or agent-driven social listening workflows where you have a known post URL and need up to 50 comments quickly.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible Instagram post URL (private account, deleted post, or malformed URL)
- Limit parameter out of range (below 1 or above 50)
- Instagram rate limiting or blocking of the scraping service
- Post has no comments to return
- Payment failure via x402 protocol preventing request execution

## How this service works

Instagram data — posts, profile details, and comments.

## Output

Returns a list of comments from the specified Instagram post or reel, up to the requested limit (max 50). Each comment likely includes the comment text and potentially commenter information. Pricing scales with the number of comments requested.
