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 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.

Scraping Instagram highlight detail in three steps

Create a free account

Grab your API key

One key from the dashboard authenticates every scraper, Instagram highlight detail included.

Call the endpoint

Send the target to the Instagram Highlight Detail endpoint and read the JSON. That is the whole integration.

No captchas, ever

Anti-bot walls, JS rendering and rate limits are handled server-side. You call an API, that is the whole job.

Residential-backed

Every request exits through HProxy's own residential network, so it looks like a real user on a real device.

Pay per call

No subscription, no seat licenses. Calls are billed from your balance and the balance never expires.

Fresh on every call

Responses are scraped live at request time, no stale cache dressed up as data.

Errors are free

Blocked, errored or timed-out calls are not charged. A target that does not exist counts as a call, because the platform still had to be asked.

Scales with you

From one call to millions: same endpoint, same price curve, volume discounts as you grow.

What people build with it

Archive Instagram stories before they expire.

Monitor brand mentions that only ever appear in stories.

Track how creators use highlights to sell.
