## 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 socialintel-dev-e8afa9fd
```

Example prompt: Find me up to 20 female fitness influencers in the US with at least 10,000 followers and no more than 500,000 — I need their usernames, bios, follower counts, and contact emails if available.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover and filter Instagram influencers at scale with structured metadata including contact emails, engagement data, and demographic filters. Prefer it over general web search when you need machine-readable influencer profiles with follower counts and business contact info for outreach or campaign planning.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned when filters are too narrow or combined incorrectly — try relaxing follower range or removing location filter
- Missing contact emails for many influencers as not all accounts expose public_email
- Inaccurate or stale follower counts if profile data has not been recently indexed
- Rate limiting or payment failure if USDC payment is not attached or insufficient
- Invalid country code format causes no matches — use ISO codes like US, DE or full names like United States

## How this service works

Find Instagram influencers with business emails in one API call. 100 leads for $1.30 — no signup, no subscription. Pay per search with USDC.

## Output

Returns a list of Instagram influencer profiles (up to 100 per call) each containing username, full name, bio, follower count, following count, media count, gender, category, business/verified status, and public contact email, plus a metadata block with any notices.
