## 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 sitecheck-shop-social-instagram-profile-engagement-snapshot-d3f2b810

Example prompt: Can you pull up the Instagram engagement snapshot for @glossier — I want to see their follower count, how often they post, and the average engagement rate across their last 12 posts?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, structured engagement snapshot of a public Instagram account without authenticating with the Instagram Graph API. Ideal for influencer vetting, competitive benchmarking, or brand audits where you need follower count, posting frequency, and recent post engagement metrics in a single call. Not suitable if you need comment text content, Stories data, or private account data.

## Known failure modes

- 404 returned for unknown or private Instagram usernames
- 503 returned when Instagram throttles the request (not charged)
- null values for likes/engagement rate when the account has hidden like counts
- Empty or incomplete post list if account has fewer than 12 posts
- Stale data if Instagram's public web profile JSON is cached or delayed
