Get Instagram Highlight Contents by ID
View all Instagram Data API endpoints →Read the media inside one highlight collection. Pass highlight_id — an id from the highlights list (the numeric part, e.g. 17951474176899044). The documented response returns the highlight record with its items[]: each item carries media id, shortcode, timestamps and image or video renditions, alongside the collection's cover and title metadata. Item media URLs are time-limited; re-fetch when links expire.
API Features
Full item list Returns every media item in the collection with shortcode and timestamps.
Image and video renditions Items carry image_versions2 or video_versions URLs.
Collection metadata Cover media, title and creation time describe the highlight itself.
Chains from the list endpoint Accepts ids returned by the highlights list, completing the two-step flow.
