From Request to Clean JSON

You write one line. We do everything between the request and the data.

01

You send

One API call

GET the Instagram endpoint with your key. That's all your code does.

02

We handle

Proxies · captchas · parsing

Residential exit, anti-bot walls, JS rendering and extraction, all server-side, on us.

03

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 a record ID with your HProxy key and get back a clean, structured JSON object. Pull every item inside one Instagram highlight, with full-resolution media URLs and when each was originally posted. 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.
