Stories not downloading the correct/updated stories for instagram

[Vagh-s]

I was downloading stories for an account and i noticed that the downloaded stories where different from the actual ones. Seems like it was downloading the previous stories than the current ones. Tried refreshing cookies doesnt solve it. What solved it was changing the naming convention. When i changed it then it started the download the correct ones. This was happening on accounts i frequently scrape. So when i tried doing it on other accounts, it downloaded the correct one. Seems like its a naming convention issue where stories filenames dont change so it doesnt download updated ones? Is there a fix to this?

Change the filename format then. Maybe include {date} or another field that changes when stories get updated.

is there a way to have a specific format for stories only?

You can set options per subcategory:

-o extractor.instagram.stories.filename="…"

or

{
    "extractor": {
        "instagram": {
            "stories": {
                "filename": "…"
            }
        }
    }
}
