Instagram User Story Highlights Lookup

Use this endpoint when you need to enumerate or analyze the story highlight reels pinned to a specific Instagram profile, given only a username or profile URL. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when you want structured highlight metadata without building custom parsing logic. It is especially useful for influencer research, brand audits, or content inventory workflows that require fast, programmatic access to Instagram highlight data.

• Username or URL not found — returns 404 or empty result if the account does not exist or is private
• Invalid input format — error if neither username nor url query param is provided
• Private account — highlights may not be accessible for private profiles
• Rate limiting — too many requests in a short window may result in 429 errors
• Instagram anti-scraping measures — occasional failures if Instagram changes its internal structure
