## 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-instagram-influencer-search-a7d48ecf
```

Example prompt: Find me up to 50 female fitness influencers based in Los Angeles with at least 10,000 followers who have a public business email I can reach out to.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover and filter Instagram influencers by niche, location, follower range, gender, or contact availability. Ideal for influencer outreach campaigns, market research, or building contact lists. Prefer this over generic social media APIs when the specific need is Instagram influencer discovery with demographic and geographic filters and optional business email enrichment.

## Known failure modes

- Payment required (402) if demo=true not set and no USDC payment provided
- Rate limit exceeded (5 requests/hour per IP on demo tier)
- No results found for overly narrow filter combinations
- Invalid country ISO code or unsupported country name returns empty or error
- limit parameter out of range (below 1 or above 100) returns validation error

## How this service works

Returns up to 100 influencer profiles per request. Each result includes username,
follower count, bio, category, and business email (when available).

**Dynamic pricing:** $0.50 for up to 20 results, +$0.01 per result above 20.
Examples: 20 results = $0.50, 50 results = $0.80, 100 results = $1.30.

**Free demo:** Add `demo=true` to try the API with no payment. Returns up to 3 results,
no USDC required. Rate limited to 5 requests per hour per IP.

Payment via x402 (USDC on Base or Solana). No API keys required.
