## 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 scrape-creators-instagram-post-comments-scraper-1aa9e7f6
```

Example prompt: Pull all the comments from this Instagram post for me: https://www.instagram.com/p/ABC123xyz/ — I want to see what people are saying about it.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to extract public comment data from a specific Instagram post for sentiment analysis, competitor monitoring, community research, or engagement auditing. Prefer this over manual scraping or Instagram's official API when you need quick access without OAuth setup or when the official API's rate limits are too restrictive.

## Known failure modes

- Post is private or restricted — returns empty or error
- Invalid or malformed Instagram post URL — returns 400 error
- Post has been deleted — returns not found error
- Instagram rate limiting or blocking — returns timeout or access denied
- Post has comments disabled — returns empty comment list

## How this service works

Comments Pagination billing: call the first page normally and save billing.requestId from the Orthogonal /v1/run response. For later page, offset, or cursor calls on the same logical search, pass parentRequestId with unchanged non-pagination parameters. Valid continuation calls still get their own request IDs and quoted price, but are charged 0. Changing filters starts a new billable request.

## Output

Returns a list of comments on the specified Instagram post, including commenter usernames, comment text, timestamps, like counts on comments, and reply counts, enabling analysis of public engagement on the post.
