## 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-reels-videos-e4efe2aa
```

Example prompt: Pull the most recent reels and videos from the Instagram account @nikerunning — I want to see the URLs, captions, view counts, and how long each video is.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick video-specific metadata (reels and IGTV) from a public Instagram profile without authenticating. It is ideal for competitive monitoring, influencer research, or brand auditing where you want view/engagement metrics on recent video posts. Prefer it over full-grid endpoints when you specifically want video content. Note that it does not cover the full historical reels tab — only the most recent grid and IGTV items.

## Known failure modes

- 503 returned when Instagram rate-limits the request (throttling); not charged
- 404 returned when the username does not exist or the account is private
- Only covers the 12 most recent grid posts and IGTV — older reels are not accessible
- Private or restricted accounts return no data
- Reels-only tab content beyond the grid is not accessible anonymously

## How this service works

## Output

Returns a list of recent reels and IGTV videos from the specified public Instagram account. Each item includes the video URL, caption text, post timestamp, view count, like count, comment count, and duration. Coverage is limited to reels and videos among the 12 newest grid posts plus available IGTV entries, as Instagram does not expose the full reels tab to anonymous requests.
