## 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-post-comments-cfc94dde -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up to 100 comments from the Instagram post with shortcode 'CqX1234abcd', sorted by newest first?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically retrieve comments from a specific Instagram post without managing Instagram API credentials. Ideal for sentiment analysis, engagement monitoring, or competitive research on Instagram content. Prefer this over direct Instagram API calls when you need a pay-per-request model without OAuth setup.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent post ID returns an error or empty result
- Private post or account may return access denied or empty data
- Rate limits or scraping blocks from Instagram may cause failures
- Invalid cursor value causes pagination error
- max_comments or max_page_size outside allowed bounds returns validation error

## How this service works

Pay-per-request access to social media data from TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and LinkedIn. No auth, no subscriptions.

## Output

A list of comments on the specified Instagram post, including comment text, commenter info, and timestamps, along with a pagination cursor for fetching additional results if the total exceeds the requested page size.
