## 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-x402-gateway-instagram-video-stories-downloader-7de113ce -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you download the video from this Instagram post for me? Here's the URL: https://www.instagram.com/p/ABC123xyz/

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pay-per-call, no-subscription approach to downloading Instagram videos and stories using crypto micropayments (x402/USDC). It is ideal for agents with on-chain payment capability that need occasional Instagram media extraction without committing to a monthly RapidAPI subscription. Prefer this over direct RapidAPI calls when operating in a web3-native or x402-enabled payment context.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure: insufficient USDC balance or invalid x402 payment header returns 402
- Private or deleted Instagram post returns upstream 404 or empty result
- Invalid or malformed Instagram URL returns error from upstream provider
- Rate limiting or upstream API quota exceeded returns 429
- Instagram URL region-blocked or access restricted returns upstream error

## How this service works

Every request, a quantum of value. x402 protocol-based payment endpoint for web3/DeFi tools.

## Output

Returns the upstream response from the Instagram downloader API, including direct media download URLs, video stream links, metadata such as resolution and duration, and the content type header — all passed through transparently after successful x402 micropayment of $0.01 USDC.
