## 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 sixpath-instagram-stable-api-b4f0126f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest public profile info and recent posts for the Instagram account @natgeo — I need the follower count, bio, and last 10 post captions?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need stable, reliable Instagram public data extraction via a pay-per-call model without a monthly subscription, especially in agent pipelines using the x402 payment protocol on Base chain. Prefer it over traditional Instagram Graph API when you lack official app credentials or need quick ad-hoc lookups.

## Known failure modes

- Private or restricted Instagram account returns no data or access error
- Invalid or non-existent username returns 404 or empty result
- Rate limiting or Instagram anti-scraping blocks causing failed fetch
- Malformed POST body causes 400 bad request
- x402 payment failure on Base chain causes 402 response and no data returned
- Instagram API changes causing partial or broken data extraction
