About
Collects currently public Instagram stories into a ZIP. Stories expire; a later run can be empty.
How to use
One username per line. Download the ZIP from downloadUrl when done.
What this tool can do
Zips currently public Story media. Save while the story is live; it is not a historical archive.
How to read the results
Stories usually last 24 hours. Empty results usually mean there is no public story now, not that the tool is broken.
Limits and data handling
Premium lookup with quota. Public stories only. Download links are temporary.
FAQ
What if there are no stories?
The job may still finish with an empty downloadUrl or a note that no media was collected.
Can expired stories be recovered?
No. Only stories that are still publicly visible are collected.
How is this different from post download?
Post download is for feed media. This tool is stories only. Do not mix the two expectations.
