# List Instagram user stories

Stories currently live on this account. Stories expire after 24 hours, so an account with nothing active returns an empty `items` list — that is a normal result, not an error.

- Platform: Instagram V3
- Request: `GET https://api.toolzerhub.com/v3/instagram/user/stories`
- Auth: `x-api-key` header
- Cost: 3 credits per successful request. Failed requests are not billed.
