## 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 quantaflow-serp-instagram-profile-lookup-2d600efe -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the public Instagram profile info for @natgeo — I want to see their follower count, bio, and post count?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, programmatic access to public Instagram profile metadata without maintaining a direct Instagram API integration. It is particularly useful for influencer research, competitive analysis, or brand monitoring workflows where you need profile stats on demand. At $0.01 USDC per call via x402 micropayments, it suits pay-per-lookup agent workflows rather than bulk scraping.

## Known failure modes

- Profile not found or username does not exist — upstream returns empty or error response
- Private Instagram account returns limited or no data
- Rate limiting or upstream SERP provider throttling causes failure
- Invalid or malformed username input results in error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks request before it reaches upstream
- Upstream SERP provider downtime causes passthrough error

## How this service works
