## 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 stablesocial-followers-dc64a62e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up to 500 followers for the Instagram account @natgeo and give me the full list?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically retrieve the follower list of an Instagram account, especially for audience analysis, influencer research, or social graph mapping. Prefer this over manual browsing when you need structured, paginated follower data at scale via a pay-per-request model.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Instagram handle returns an error
- Private account may return empty or restricted follower list
- Exceeding rate limits may result in partial results or errors
- Missing required 'handle' field returns a validation error
- Invalid cursor returns a pagination error
