## 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-search-tags-55e91b45 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Instagram for the hashtag 'sustainablefashion' and show me the latest 50 posts — I want to see what people are sharing under that tag.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover or collect Instagram posts associated with a specific hashtag, for purposes such as trend analysis, brand monitoring, influencer research, or content aggregation. Prefer this over manual scraping or other social APIs when you need pay-per-request access without a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or empty tag returns a validation error
- Tag with no posts returns empty result set
- Invalid pagination cursor causes a bad request error
- Rate limiting or backend scraping failure returns a 5xx error
- Payment not received results in 402 response requiring x402 payment

## How this service works

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

## Output
