From Request to Clean JSON
You write one line. We do everything between the request and the data.
You send
One API call
GET the Instagram endpoint with your key. That's all your code does.
We handle
Proxies · captchas · parsing
Residential exit, anti-bot walls, JS rendering and extraction, all server-side, on us.
You get
Clean JSON
A structured object every time. No HTML, no scraping code, no maintenance.
The Instagram Highlight Detail endpoint is one API call: send the target (a handle, URL, ID or query) with your HProxy key and get back a clean, structured JSON object. Pull active Instagram stories and highlights with media URLs and view windows. HProxy runs the proxies, sessions, anti-bot handling and parsing server-side, so there is no headless browser to babysit and no parser to keep fixing when Instagram changes its markup. You only ever touch the JSON.
