INSTAGRAM STORIES SCRAPER
Save the Instagram stories that are active right now.
Enter an Instagram username to collect the stories currently visible for that account, including media links, timestamps and story identifiers when available. Schedule repeat checks when the story window matters to your research.
ACTIVE STORIES
Capture short-lived content while it is available.
Stories are returned as one account-level collection so you do not need to know the count before starting.
Current story set
Collect all stories Caelario can currently see for the username in one request.
Media and timing
Keep story IDs, media URLs, publication times and expiration details when available.
Flat collection billing
A non-empty result costs 10 credits whether it contains one story or several.
Recurring checks
Schedule a repeat collection to build a history that a one-time story view cannot provide.
STORY SET
One response can contain the whole active sequence.
Each story remains an individual item inside the account-level result.

]ONE REQUEST PER ACCOUNT
No need to guess how many stories are active.
Caelario asks for the visible set, stores the delivered items together and charges the flat collection price only when at least one story is returned.
