## 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 socialfetch-instagram-basic-profile-by-numeric-id-9f0f7c82
```

Example prompt: Pull the basic Instagram profile for numeric user ID 123456789 — I need their username, bio, and follower count.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you already have the Instagram numeric user ID and need lightweight profile data quickly. Prefer the handle-based endpoint (instagram.profile.get) when you only have a username/handle and not the numeric ID. This endpoint is optimized for ID-based lookups and avoids the extra step of resolving a handle to an ID.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-numeric userId returns a 400 or validation error
- User ID does not exist on Instagram returns a 404 not found
- Rate limit exceeded returns a 429 too many requests
- Payment not provided or insufficient funds returns a 402
- Private or deactivated account may return limited or no data

## How this service works

Get a lightweight Instagram profile by numeric user ID when you already have the id — prefer instagram.profile.get for handle lookups.

## Output

A lightweight Instagram profile object for the specified numeric user ID, including fields such as username, display name, bio, follower count, and other basic profile metadata.
