Hi there,
The upcoming version 1.5.0 release of the plugin will contain various features for more easily querying and displaying stories in creative ways.
We’ll publish some developer documentation for this soon that will explain this in detail.
Great News.
Looking forward to this
But as for now i can’t simply query directly le web stories and display them with the content?
The idea is a custom block (ACF) where we choose the stories.
Then a output these with a simple query.
For now i need to embed the stories in a post and query these posts?
Right?
I need custom markup around my stories…
Well, what kind of markup do you need, how do you want to display the stories?
In the newly released version 1.5.0 of the plugin there is now a \Google\Web_Stories\render_stories() function that you can use to query and display stories in various ways (as circles, list, grid, etc.). Does that work for you?
There is also a way to use your own custom markup for displaying stories.
As mentioned, we’re still working on documentation for all of this.

Note that the built-in Gutenberg block now lets you do exactly this.
What I did is that

My stories are in a slick slider… and I want to have the hand on the styles…
But I had to add them each to a new post for my query to display them properly….
Thanks for sharing the video, very helpful!
I do think you should really be considering the Web Stories block to display stories in a slider/carousel like this.
If you want to use your own markup and styles check out the documentation we’ve now added here: https://github.com/google/web-stories-wp/blob/main/docs/web-stories-embeds.md
Using a custom renderer allows you to display stories in any way you’d like, for example as images or as amp-story-player instances.
@davouid Glad to hear this fits your needs! We will mark this topic as resolved. Feel free to open a new support topic should you have further questions or encounter any issues.
If you have a spare moment to share your feedback about Web Stories, we would love to hear it. Thank you!
