## 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-post-comments-1a23f54b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the comments from this Instagram post for me: https://www.instagram.com/p/ABC123XYZ/ — I want to see what people are saying about it.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need pay-per-request access to Instagram post comments without managing subscriptions or API keys. It is ideal for one-off analysis, ad-hoc research, or automated workflows where you only pay for what you use. Prefer this over official Instagram APIs when you need public comment data without OAuth user authentication flows.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-public Instagram URL returns an error or empty result
- Post has comments disabled — returns empty comment list
- Invalid or expired cursor causes pagination to fail
- Rate limiting or Instagram anti-scraping measures may cause transient failures
- Deleted or private posts return an error or no data
- Payment of 0.06 USDC not fulfilled results in HTTP 402 rejection

## 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 comments from the specified Instagram post or reel, including comment text and author information, along with a pagination cursor that can be passed in subsequent requests to retrieve additional comments beyond the initial batch.
