The user may have chosen to hide stories from you, even though you are following him or her. Please check if the problem also occurs with your own private accounts. Either way I've tested downloading a private account I am following and can't reproduce the issue.

I don’t really think so. As I tried about 5-6 users. None of them worked.

Can you delete your json_feed.json file (if one exists), run the attached script below and then post the new json file here?

The usual response when there are no stories would be when reel is null:

{"broadcast": null, "reel": null, "status": "ok"}

but perhaps the response is different this time and it might give a clue as to what's going on.
