Extract saved Highlights from any public Instagram profile — titles, cover images, media counts, creation dates, and full profile metadata. 23 structured fields per highlight. No login, no cookies, no browser.

Why Highlights Matter

Instagram Stories disappear after 24 hours. Highlights are the content a brand or creator chose to keep permanently — they reveal positioning, messaging pillars, product launches, and recurring themes. This scraper gives you structured access to that curated content layer.

What You Get

23 fields per highlight, organized in two groups:

Highlight Data: highlight ID, title, cover image URL (full resolution), media count (number of stories saved inside), creation timestamp, highlight URL

Profile Data: username, full name, user ID, biography, follower count, following count, post count, profile picture URL, verification status, privacy status, business category, external URL

Use Cases

Competitor Content Audit — Map a competitor's Highlight categories to understand their content pillars. See which topics they're investing in (product features, testimonials, behind-the-scenes, FAQs) and identify gaps in your own strategy.

Influencer Vetting — Before signing a brand deal, check an influencer's Highlights to verify they've promoted similar products, maintained consistent branding, and curated content that aligns with your brand values.

Brand Monitoring — Track how your brand or product appears in other accounts' Highlights over time. Archive highlight titles and cover images for compliance or reporting.

Content Research at Scale — Analyze hundreds of profiles in a single run to discover trending highlight categories, naming patterns, and cover image styles across your industry.

Archiving & Backup — Preserve your own Highlights metadata before making changes. Useful for agencies managing multiple client accounts.

Input

Accepts usernames (with or without @) and full Instagram profile URLs. Paste one per line for bulk scraping.
