Step-by-step: Get an Instagram account's current stories
Returns the stories a user has live right now, each with its id, image or video URLs, thumbnail, duration, capture time, and the author.
Use it to check an account's current story tray; an account with nothing live returns an empty list rather than an error.
50 credits per call.
Authorization

Query Parameters
Instagram username without the @ symbol. Provide at least one of: handle, user_id.
Instagram numeric user ID. Use this for faster responses. Provide at least one of: handle, user_id.
When true, returns URL-safe media links suitable for embedding.
Only rows published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Rows older than it are left off each page. This list is not in date order, so the walk does not stop at the date: keep following next_cursor, and each page costs what a page costs even when every row on it is filtered out. A row with no date is kept.
Only rows published on or before this date: YYYY-MM-DD (that whole UTC day is included) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Newer rows are left off each page and the walk does not stop, so older pages follow. A row with no date is kept.
Set to 1 to get the price of this call without making it: data.dry_run carries credits_min and credits_max. Nothing is charged.
