Abstract
We introduce the Tidal Tales Plugin, a Firefox extension for efficiently collecting and archiving of Instagram stories, addressing the challenges of ephemeral data in social media research. It enables an automated collection of story metadata and media files without risking account bans. It contributes to Web Science by facilitating expansive, long-term studies with enhanced data access and integrity.
