## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic access to Instagram story media files without using the official Instagram Graph API (which requires approved app permissions). Suitable for public account monitoring, content archiving, or research use cases where quick pay-per-call access is preferred over managing Instagram API credentials.

## Known failure modes

- Private account stories cannot be accessed without authentication credentials
- Story has already expired (Instagram stories last 24 hours)
- Invalid or non-existent Instagram username returns an error
- Rate limiting or Instagram blocking the scraper may result in failed requests
- Malformed request body missing required username/URL parameter
