I Use library called YouTube-dl, which can download from many sites.
it's support cookies files. I made the following code:
youtube-dl -j —-cookies /path/to/cookies.txt URLgoesHere
What I want is how to download stories from Instagram using this library? On the command line.
Update: For Instagram stories of video slideshows, use yt-dlp (requires v2022.1.21):
pip install 'yt-dlp>=2022.1.21'

Note that yt-dlp is a fork of youtube-dl (I am not affiliated with either):
yt-dlp is a youtube-dl fork based on the now inactive youtube-dlc. The main focus of this project is adding new features and patches while also keeping up to date with the original project.
youtube-dl still doesn't support Instagram stories, though it's tagged as "todo" on their issue tracker.
It does now, and very gracefully, checked on version: 2021.04.17
