Instaloader: Download stories in python module

[annanny]

I need to download all stories from a lot of profiles. How can I do it?
I try to run example from the documentation like this

for story in L.get_stories():
for item in story.get_items():
L.download_storyitem(item, ':stories')

but I get error "TypeError: expected str, got bool"

And if I am right to understand in this case I'll get all stories from my profile, but I want to get stories from any profile if it is open.

I use the last version of Instaloader

[asuna-cz]

L = instaloader.Instaloader()
L.login(USER, PASSWORD)

for story in L.get_stories():
    for item in story.get_items():
        L.download_storyitem(item, ':stories')

This following code from docs will download all stories you can see on your friends profile and it works just fine for me.

_Python 3.6.9
Instaloader 4.3.2_

You can download stories from specific user like this

L = instaloader.Instaloader()
L.login(USER, PASSWORD)
L.download_stories(userids=[460563723])
# You can pass multiple ids like [460563723, 460563723, 460563723]

To get profile ID you can use

L = instaloader.Instaloader()
profile = L.check_profile_id("SelenaGomez")

>>> profile.userid
460563723

Is there any possibility to pass the "dirname_pattern" to
L.download_stories(userids=[])
?
If i download it, all content goes in the : Stories folder and not in the {target} folder.
