Issue with Instagram stories #72

Closed T-prog3 closed 2 years ago

T-prog3 commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug I have an issue with Instagram where Scrawler is downloading the stories highlights, but not the story feed.

Release information (please complete the following information):

AAndyProgram commented 2 years ago

What do you mean "stories highlights"? Aren't "stories highlights" and "story feed" the same thing?

T-prog3 commented 2 years ago

No they are different. Highlights are the sticky collections under some users profiles who is permanent until the user remove them. The Story feed are when you click on their profile picture to see their story feed and this content is only active 24 hours.

Got it. Sorry, this will not be implemented. You can track this request here. Duplicate of #17

T-prog3 commented 2 years ago

  1. Sorry but it is not a duplicate and that thread is full of misinformation that creates confusion.

  2. It have been stated in both the README.md and in the software itself that SCrawler download Stories and now you telling me that it wont be be implemented?

  3. If that really is the case then you should change the advertising.

  4. As of now, the thing this software call "stories" and what that thread called "Pinned stories" are infact called Highlights. It's a collection where users can add their archived posts to show them off like an album and add new content over time but most people don't use this feature.

The actual Stories on the other hand is the second, if not most used feature of Instagram and why i downloaded this software. Both Highlights and Stories have similarities that can make people think that they are the same because Highlights were built as an extention that is connected to a users private story archive, still a separated feature though.

You can see this relation in their url paths. Leo Messis Stories: https://www.instagram.com/stories/leomessi/2932555915278807671/

  1. Excuse me? Misinformation? 😱 What? 👀 This thread (especially in the first messages) contains all the information about which Instagram blocks I add, which ones I don't, and for what reasons.
  2. All pinned stories are fully downloadable. SCrawler downloads all pinned (archived) stories (number 4 in this pic).
  3. I don't do this. Scrawler's description is correct. It can download stories.
  4. 😐

In this thread, I said that I didn't see these stories in the site's response. If I don't see them in the site's response, I can't develop this. Number 5 of this message.

It's a collection where users can add their archived posts to show them off like an album and add new content over time but most people don't use this feature.

And who is misinforming people? Not posts, but Stories! https://help.instagram.com/1935507879999791/
