I’m pretty experienced with the library now and am using it to read timelines, search, like/unlike, and save/unsave.

Question

I’m trying to post a story with a media attachment sticker. I’m using a call similar to the sample code.

const bg = await fs.readFile("red.jpg");
const options: PostingStoryPhotoOptions = {
  file: bg,
  stickerConfig: new StickerBuilder()
    .add(
      StickerBuilder.attachmentFromMedia(
        (await this.client.feed.timeline().items())[0]
      ).center()
    )
    .build()
};

await this.client.publish.story(options);

I can see in my debugger that the options look filled in.

But the story which is posted contains only the uploaded image, which is just a red background:

I tried a simpler post:

const bg = await fs.readFile("red.jpg");
const options: PostingStoryPhotoOptions = {
  file: bg,
  stickerConfig: new StickerBuilder()
    .add(
      StickerBuilder.hashtag({
        tagName: "insta"
      }).center()
    )
    .build()
};

await this.client.publish.story(options);

But I got the same result, no sticker.

@seanraad123 I haven’t tried video, but it looks like client.publish.story will take PostingStoryPhotoOptions or PostingStoryVideoOptions. Both take the image/video as a buffer.

This new remotion library looks like a cool way to build a video.
