How do I get a story link?

Open a story, tap the three-dot menu on it and choose “Copy link”. The URL looks like instagram.com/stories/username/123456789/.

Why does the tool sometimes fail?

Stories are ephemeral and heavily restricted by Instagram. This tool is in beta — if a story has expired or the account is private, it cannot be fetched.

Can I download stories from private accounts?

No. Only content from public accounts can be accessed.

Yes, the story downloader is free during the beta.
