Add only new story check #11

Open AlphaC0de opened 4 years ago

AlphaC0de commented 4 years ago

I'm using Telegram API to send me a notification every time the script runs; is it possible to add a background check to verify only if new story is published and so send me a notification?

Edit: without need to install anything, maybe a good solution can be using something like this ls -1A >/path/OUTPUT/username/stories | wc -l

so that it checks if there's a new file

Since I don't use the Instagram API, but just collect data from insta-stories.com, I can't receive notifications when stories are published.

Maybe one day I will write a new project which will be based on instagram_private_api

In the meantime, I recommend to look at other projects, for example: github.com/Veeenz/instagram-story-stalker It uses Telegram API and has notifications about new posts and stories.
