# Anonymous Instagram Stories

**Use case:** 

Enter public Instagram accounts in `instagramAccounts` to check active Stories without an Instagram login. The Actor saves one overview dataset row per Story and continues when an account has no active Stories. Add several accounts in one run.

## Input

```json
{
  "instagramAccounts": [
    "nasa"
  ]
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "storyId": {
    "label": "Story ID",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "owner": {
    "label": "Owner",
    "format": "object"
  },
  "media": {
    "label": "Media",
    "format": "object"
  },
  "postedAt": {
    "label": "Posted time",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "expiresAt": {
    "label": "Expiration time",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "hasAudio": {
    "label": "Has audio",
    "format": "boolean"
  },
  "mentions": {
    "label": "Mentions",
    "format": "array"
  },
  "stickers": {
    "label": "Stickers",

Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/maximedupre/instagram-story-viewer.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
