## 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-stories-fetcher-f29fec4e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the current Instagram Stories from the account @glossier so I can see what they're posting today?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need pay-per-request Instagram Stories data without managing API keys, OAuth flows, or subscriptions. Ideal for agents that occasionally need social data and want to pay only per call via x402 USDC micropayments rather than committing to a monthly plan.

## Known failure modes

- Account not found or is private — returns error with no story data
- Account has no active stories — returns empty stories array
- Instagram rate limiting or blocking — service may return a scraping error
- Payment failure via x402 — request not processed if USDC payment is rejected
- Invalid or malformed username input — returns validation error
