        ## Installation
        
        Install using pip
        
        ```bash
        $ pip install -U instagram-story
        ```
        
        ## Usage
        
        ```text
        usage: instagram-story [-h] [-f CONFIG_LOCATION] [-d DOWNLOAD_ONLY]
        
        Instagram Story downloader
        
        optional arguments:
          -h, --help            show this help message and exit
          -f CONFIG_LOCATION, --config-location CONFIG_LOCATION
                                Path for loading and storing config key file.
          -d DOWNLOAD_ONLY, --download-only DOWNLOAD_ONLY
                                Download stories for user id listed in the file.
        ```
        
        On first run, a config file will be generated. The script will ask for required information such as your username, user id, cookies etc., cookies can be obtained from the developer tools of Google Chrome or Firefox. For this you can install the [EditThisCooki](http://www.editthiscookie.com/) extension and export your instagram cookie in comma separated values
        
        ```text
        csrftoken=value;ds_user_id=value;ig_did=value;ig_nrcb=value;mid=value;rur=value;sessionid=value;shbid=value;shbts=value;
        ```
        
        Value of `ds_user_id` is your instagram user id.
        
        To periodically obtain stories from followed users, run this script at least every 24 hours. A Windows Scheduled Task or a Unix cron job is recommended to perform this automatically.
