# Get Instagram profile highlights

Automatically get Instagram profile highlights on instagram.com. List an Instagram user's Story Highlights by username (from get_profile). Returns each highlight's id, title and cover image, as the profile's highlights tray shows them; a profile with no highlights returns an empty list. This is the tray on the profile, not the story items inside each highlight. Fails with a clear error when the browser is not signed in to Instagram or the username does not exist.
