Hi @HappyLoLTroll ,
You can check this PR.

The main idea is that if you use Instagram cookies with the bot, it will download all the pictures from stories.
How to use Instagram cookies with the bot

Hi @yurnov ,
Since you know more about it, could you please confirm this? I believe image download is not supported for any site. I tried to send link from x . com for example.
Thank you!

I checked but it is not working with TikTok images and carousel

[ovchynnikov]

it might work with this library that we use for instagram. Not sure if TikTok implemented in the bot

supported sites

Is it possbile to add the support to download images from all sites?

Currently, it is supported only by Instagram and requires an Instagram cookie. The gallery-dl that is used for Instagram supports TikTok and many other sites, but gallery-dl is used only for Instagram currently

Images are not downloading also for Instagram.
This is the error I get

Hi @HappyLoLTroll
Your links are not stories.

[ovchynnikov]

Try this one

Then I need something else to download posts

[HappyLoLTroll]

So this bot can't really download images, only videos and stories, not posts
