```sh
zero fetch --capability x402-social-intel-instagram-post-scraper-fe8e6e48 -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Can you pull the engagement stats, caption, and like/comment counts for this Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/ABC123XYZ/ — I need the raw data for a competitor analysis report.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured Instagram post data (engagement metrics, captions, media) for a single post, especially in automated agent workflows that pay per-call via x402 on Base mainnet with USDC. Prefer over manual scraping or Instagram's official API when you need fast, ad-hoc access without OAuth setup.

- Rate limiting or Instagram anti-scraping blocks — returns timeout or error
