'How to get Instagram story highlights cover photo in HD
I want to access the cover photo of an Instagram story highlight in its full size. I'm not sure if this is accessible through the Instagram API but I'm assuming there will be a similar solution to the one used for profile pictures (1080x1080 photos via Instagram API).
Here's a public story highlight cover photo from Instagram's official page: https://scontent-lht6-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/4ed116247dc101eb2268d44fa7a672dd/5D231F06/t51.12442-15/e15/c0.280.720.720a/s150x150/38291305_273562119909817_4197279119550971904_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-lht6-1.cdninstagram.com
Unfortunately you can't just remove 's150x150' anymore or you'll get an access denied error or URL signature mismatch. Is it at all possible?

With Instagram many of the calls are done with AJAX, or URLs. I'm not sure I understand what exactly what you want. But I've found the best way to get at Instagram rather than negotiate with Facebook is to use the Google Chrome Developer Tools and look in the "Network" tab to analyze what sources are being used. You should be able to figure out the best one to suit your needs. Unlike Facebook, Instagram is designed to be more "public" so you should be safe in the long run.
