Instagram stories bridge (with self hosted service)

[marlluslustosa]

I think the best way for an effective bridge to download stories from instagram would be a self-hosted opensource service running along with the rrs-bridge code, so we won't be stuck with a third-party service that can go down at any time (or blocked for instagram).

Both sites https://storiesig.com/ and instastoriesdownload.com are not working. They were cited in https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/pull/1187 https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/issues/1056 and https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/pull/1421

There is Python Code that emulates both the Web- and the Mobile-Client to get the Deeplinks to the stories: https://instagram-private-api.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#instagram_web_api.Client.reels_feed https://github.com/ping/instagram_private_api One could could build a small python script that periodically dumps the story files to a Webserver from where a RSS-Bridge plugin could pick them up.

@marlluslustosa Is this still an issue? Can you explain better the problem?

👍 it would be nice to be able to fetch the reels too. More and more IG accounts use reels rather than 'normal' publications.
