## 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-hashtag-search-202c6219 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Instagram for all posts and reels tagged #sustainablefashion from the last week and show me what people are sharing.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need public Instagram posts or reels filtered by hashtag without needing an official Instagram API key or OAuth setup. It is ideal for pay-per-use scraping scenarios, campaign monitoring, or competitive research where subscriptions are impractical. Best when you want Google-indexed recency filtering (last hour to last year) rather than real-time scraping. Prefer alternatives if you need private content, exact post counts, or real-time engagement metrics.

## Known failure modes

- Hashtag not found or no indexed posts — empty results returned
- Invalid media_type or date_posted enum value — validation error
- Private or deleted posts not included since only Google-indexed public content is returned
- Cursor from a different session or stale cursor may return unexpected results
- Rate or payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient for the $0.06 per-call fee

## How this service works

Pay-per-request access to social media data from TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and LinkedIn. No auth, no subscriptions.

## Output

Returns a list of Google-indexed Instagram posts and/or reels matching the given hashtag, filtered by media type and date range. Each result typically includes post metadata such as URLs, captions, and publication dates. Also returns a cursor for paginating through additional result pages.
