## 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-reels-c07ceae6
```

Example prompt: Can you pull all the recent Reels from the Instagram account @natgeo and give me their metadata like captions, view counts, and links?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically access the Reels content of a specific Instagram user without the official Instagram API — particularly useful for creator analytics, competitor research, influencer discovery, or content monitoring at scale.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Instagram username returns empty result or 404-style error
- Private Instagram account returns no reels due to access restrictions
- Instagram rate limiting or blocking may cause scrape failure
- Malformed username input causes API error
- Account with no reels returns empty list
