## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve the story highlights (pinned story reels) from a specific Instagram user's profile. Ideal for competitive research, influencer analysis, brand monitoring, or content auditing on Instagram. Prefer this over generic Instagram profile scrapers when you specifically need highlight metadata rather than feed posts or profile info.
