Small Tool to Fetch Instagram Highlights via HikerAPI

Описание и применение

Небольшой скрипт на Python, использующий HikerAPI для получения информации о пользователе Instagram и его «highlight»‑постах, с простыми шагами и базовой обработкой ошибок.

Задача

Need a lightweight way to retrieve Instagram user highlights without building full data‑fetching infrastructure.

Результат

Script successfully retrieves and prints Instagram highlights JSON, demonstrating basic API integration and error handling.

Рабочий процесс

• Import requests library
• Set API key in headers
• GET user info by username
• Extract user pk from response
• GET highlights using pk
• Print or process JSON

Доказательства

Making the API request itself was relatively straightforward, but understanding the structure of the returned JSON and figuring out exactly which fields my tool needed took more time.
