Instagram_Story_Scraper

Scrapes the seen list of story we post on insta and stores it in database. Instagram doesnot provide seen list of users 24 hours after one posts a story. Using this script,we can store the seen list of each story in a database.

Format of storage-------

For each follower who sees the story ,1 is marked in the column of the story and 0 instead.
After posting next story,the story id changes and a new column is added to the database.

Use-------

To detect inactive accounts by using sql queries over the table after storing data for ample amount of time and finding    the users with least number of views.Multiple users can use this to find inactive users in their mutuaal connections(if in case some has muted the story of one user)
