## 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-instagram-followers-f438cd70 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up how many Instagram followers the account @nike has right now? I just need the follower count, no subscription or API key setup.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need Instagram follower data on a pay-per-request basis without committing to a subscription or managing API credentials. Ideal for one-off lookups, agent pipelines that query infrequently, or scenarios where cost predictability per call matters. Prefer over subscription-based social data APIs when volume is low or sporadic.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Instagram username returns an error or empty result
- Private Instagram accounts may not expose follower data
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the request
- Rate limiting or Instagram-side blocking may cause intermittent failures
- Stale or cached data may not reflect real-time follower counts
