def watch_the_story(browser, logger): # xpaths prev_xpath = "//button/div[@class='coreSpriteRightChevron']" next_xpath = "//button/div[@class='coreSpriteRightChevron']" close_xpath = "//button/div[@class='coreSpriteCloseLight']" prev_elem = None next_elem = None try: # check if there is a story for this user according to IG user data is_story = browser.execute_script( "return window._sharedData.entry_data." "ProfilePage[0].graphql.user.has_highlight_reel") if is_story: # first img is a story first_imag = browser.find_element_by_tag_name("img") click_element(browser, first_imag) sleep(2) # find the buttons before story ends to save time on xpath fail close_elem = browser.find_element_by_xpath(close_xpath) while random.randint(1,5) != 1: # find the element if next_elem is None: next_elem = browser.find_element_by_xpath(next_xpath) sleep(random.randint(2,6)) # move to the right (next) click_element(browser, next_elem) sleep(2) # let the prev button load if random.randint(1, 10) == 1: if prev_elem is None: prev_elem = browser.find_element_by_xpath(prev_xpath) sleep(random.randint(2, 4)) # play with it, we can go back click_element(browser, prev_elem) sleep(5) # close button since this is a long story.. click_element(browser, close_elem) except NoSuchElementException: # story is finished pass except StaleElementReferenceException: # story is finished pass except WebDriverException: logger.error('has_highlight_reel not exist') except: logger.error('Story: something went wrong')

It do have some timing issues, considering the page moves alot :()
I need to make sure we are no longer in the story when we are out of this function.

The documentation is not about this. Was there a PR?
And is it possible to add comments in the stories?
