List the highlight collections pinned on a public Instagram profile. Pass username_or_id. The documented response returns highlight records with id (in highlight:... form), title, cover media and item counts — the inventory step before fetching an individual highlight's contents. Pass a returned id to the highlight detail endpoint to read its media.

API Features

Profile highlight inventory Returns each collection's id and title so you can pick what to inspect.

Cover and count metadata Records expose cover media and item counts for preview UIs.

Detail-ready IDs Highlight IDs feed directly into the highlight detail endpoint.

Stable curation surface Highlights persist beyond Story expiry, unlike the Stories feed.
