Simple PHP Script that gives an array of instagram stories with their URLs from the User ID.

This only works for public accounts, unless you use an account that follows the account whose stories you want to get, and remove the private account check in getStories().

1. Clone this Project.
2. Rename example.config.php to config.php.
3. Fill in the sessionid and ds_user_id from your Cookie.
4. Use require_once("api.php"); to import into your php script.

Makes a request to the $url using your Cookies and a User Agent that Instagram allows and returns the response content.

  ["error"]=>
  bool(false)
  ["count"]=>
  int(1)
  ["stories"]=>
  array(1) {
