Architecture 🏹

`collector.js`

This collector will be collecting instagram story metadata from instagram private api then compare it (with local metadata) & store/append it to metadata-story.json

The metadata structure will be

{
    username, // username target
    id, // uniquie id
    url, // url content
    mediaType, // 1 for image, 2 for video
    path, // path to store content locally, format yyyy/M/dd
    timestamp,
    send, // status dispatcher
    downloaded, // status downloader
}

`dispatcher`

This dispatcher will read the metadata-story.json and check if the send property was false then the dispatcher will send the media (based on media type) to the defined telegram chat/ discord channel.

If the dispatcher success send the media, it will update the metadata send to true.

Don't forget to specify your dispatcher in .env (default = telegram)

`downloader.js`

This downloader will read the metadata-story.json and check if the downloaded property was false then the downloader will download the media (based on media type) locally to the defined path on metadata, the path was using yyyy/M/dd to make searching the content more easy (if needed).

If the downloader success download the media locally, it will update the metadata downloaded to true.
