Get a user's story highlights by username or profile URL. Returns each highlight's ID, title, story count, cover image, and created / updated dates. Use the highlight ID with the Highlight Stories endpoint to get the stories inside.
Features
- Real-time Instagram data — results are fetched live at run time, never cached or stale
- No login, cookies, or proxy configuration needed — just provide the input and run
- Each result is pushed as a separate dataset item, exportable as JSON, CSV, or Excel
- Fast: a typical run finishes in seconds
Input
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
username | string | no | Instagram username, with or without leading @ (max 100 characters). Provide either username or url. |
url | string | no | Instagram profile URL, e.g. https://instagram.com/natgeo (max 500 characters). Provide either username or url. |
Pricing
This Actor is billed per run — a flat $0.006 per run.
- One run returns all matching results for your input, and costs $0.006 — whether it comes back with one result or hundreds.
- You’re only charged when a run succeeds. Failed runs are free.
