## 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-user-embed-bb98b883 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the embed data for the Instagram user @natgeo so I can display their profile on my site?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need Instagram user embed data on a pay-per-request basis with no subscription, API key, or OAuth setup required. Ideal for low-volume or sporadic lookups where a subscription-based social data provider would be overkill. Best suited for agents that need quick, frictionless access to Instagram profile embeds and can handle USDC micropayments via x402.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Instagram handle returns an error
- Instagram account is private and embed data is unavailable
- Payment of $0.06 USDC not completed — request rejected with 402
- Rate limiting or platform-side blocks causing empty or partial response
- Handle format incorrect (e.g. includes @ symbol when not expected)

## 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 embeddable Instagram user profile data for the specified handle, likely including profile metadata and embed-ready content such as bio, follower counts, avatar, and structured embed markup suitable for display or further analysis.
