## 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-profile-posts-40a1ca42
```

Example prompt: Pull the most recent posts from the Instagram profile @natgeo and show me what they've been posting lately.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to enumerate the posts of a specific Instagram user by their handle, especially when building feeds, monitoring accounts for new content, or scraping public post histories. Prefer this over the single-post endpoint when you need multiple posts, and over the search endpoint when you already know the exact handle.

## Known failure modes

- Handle not found or account is private — likely returns 404 or empty result
- Invalid or expired pagination cursor — may return an error or restart pagination
- Rate limiting or upstream Instagram access issues — may return 429 or 503
- Handle parameter missing or too long (>64 chars) — schema validation error

## How this service works

## Output
