## 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-search-febb3e8e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Instagram for posts and profiles related to 'sustainable fashion' and show me the top results — use StableSocial's pay-per-request Instagram search so I don't need to set up an API account.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need one-off or low-volume Instagram search results without committing to a subscription or setting up OAuth credentials. Ideal for agents that need social data sporadically and want simple pay-per-request billing via x402/USDC.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid or empty search query — returns 400 Bad Request
- Instagram rate limiting on the provider side — returns 429 or 503
- Query returns zero results for obscure or restricted terms — empty results array
- Service unavailability or upstream Instagram changes — returns 500 or timeout

## 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 Instagram search results matching the query, which may include post metadata (captions, likes, timestamps), profile information (username, bio, follower count), and content URLs — delivered without requiring OAuth or a subscription.
