## 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-tag-search-202c028e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Instagram for posts tagged with #sustainablefashion and show me what comes up — I want to see how popular the tag is and what kind of content people are posting.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need Instagram hashtag search data without setting up OAuth, managing API credentials, or committing to a subscription. Ideal for one-off lookups, agent workflows that need pay-as-you-go social data, or when Instagram's official API access is unavailable. Best for discovering content trends and exploring tag popularity programmatically.

## Known failure modes

- Tag not found or no results for obscure hashtag — empty results array returned
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol — 402 Payment Required response
- Invalid or malformed tag input — 400 Bad Request
- Instagram data temporarily unavailable — 503 or timeout error
- Tag contains restricted or banned content — empty or filtered results
