## 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-user-posts-ed3acfe6
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the recent posts from the Instagram account @natgeo — I want to see the captions, media URLs, and engagement stats for their latest content?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve the post history or feed content of a specific Instagram user, especially for influencer research, content monitoring, or social media analytics. Prefer this over generic web scraping when you need structured post data including engagement metrics and media URLs without building your own Instagram scraper.

## Known failure modes

- Private account — returns empty or access-denied response if the account is private
- Invalid username — returns error if the Instagram handle does not exist
- Rate limiting — returns 429 if too many requests are made in a short period
- Account not found — user may have been deleted or renamed
- Pagination cursor expired — stale cursors may return errors or duplicate results
