Description

There's something called ChromeIGStory that lets you view/download Stories in the browser so I'm curious if it'd be possible for InstaLooter to ever be able to just download stories.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Instagram serves story data by inspecting network requests in a browser or using existing tools like ChromeIGStory. Look for endpoints or media formats used for stories.
