Hi! 🤝

If you are using an Instagram share URL, extract and use the shortcode

📢 Hello everyone! (BETA)

Recently, Instagram started using byte-range streaming for videos, which caused regular video links to stop working properly.

We found a workaround to ensure correct video downloading, which includes:
✅ Byte alignment and accurate stream handling.
✅ Merging video and audio streams to ensure seamless playback.
✅ Detecting whether a link requires processing (is_only_download_manifest = true).
🔹 How does it work?

If a video requires processing (is_only_download_manifest = true), we automatically download and merge it.

The response now includes direct links to the processed file:

is_only_download_manifest: true
"download_links": {
    "video_url": "https://cdn.igapi.ru/cache/final_899c71518a4a33c96ebb97f898a79d69.mp4",
    "audio_url": "https://cdn.igapi.ru/cache/audio_899c71518a4a33c96ebb97f898a79d69.m4a"
}

💔 Sulu is shutting down — but there’s a solution: FlashAPI.ru

The Sulu team has officially announced that the Sulu API marketplace will be discontinued.
🗓 On November 14, 2025, the service will be permanently shut down.
After that, all API access and wallet operations will stop.

If you’re an API consumer or provider using Sulu, take action before the shutdown:

Use up your remaining credits before November 14.

Avoid topping up your wallet — automatic payout systems will be turned off.

If you want to transfer your funds or APIs, there’s still a way to do it!

🔄 How to transfer or request a refund

Sulu provided the following temporary procedure for fund transfers and refunds:

✅ If you want to transfer your balance to FlashAPI.ru
Send an email to support@sulu.sh with the subject:

“Transfer funds to FlashAPI / APIPROFI”

Include in your email:

Your Sulu account email

Your name

Your API key (as proof of identity)

And a written confirmation stating that you want your funds transferred to APIPROFI in exchange for API credits.

✅ If you recently topped up your balance, you can also request a refund to your card.
Just mention this in your email, and the Sulu support team will handle it.

⚡️ The alternative — FlashAPI.ru

Don’t depend on a platform that’s shutting down — move to FlashAPI.ru and keep your APIs running smoothly.

🚀 Easy migration for existing APIs
🔑 Flexible plans and API key management
🛡 Reliable infrastructure and active support

🔥 Update on FLASHAPI!

The /basic_engagement/ endpoint has been added to the website — it has been available on RapidAPI for a long time, but now it’s officially accessible through our API Hub.

What does this method do?

GET /basic_engagement/ provides a quick engagement evaluation based on the last 12 posts.
Perfect for analytics, account quality checks, and automation tools.

⚠️ Note: Before checking the documentation, please clear your browser cache to ensure the new endpoint appears correctly. https://flashapi.ru

Example:

{
  "engagement_rate_percentages": 6.09,
  "recent_posts": 12,
  "followers": 97054867,

⚠️ Attention! ⚠️

Lately, we’ve seen a huge surge in interest in our API. To ensure stable performance and faster request handling, we’ve separated the website logic from the API. Now all requests go through a dedicated server. ⚡️

As part of this upgrade, we’ve migrated to a new API endpoint:
🌐 https://fast.igapi.ru/api/

Example request:

https://fast.igapi.ru/api/user_id?user=nasa

📌 Key points:

Both the old and new endpoints currently work ✅

The old endpoint (flashapi.ru/api/) is much slower 🐢

The new endpoint delivers faster and more reliable responses ⚡️

Your existing keys and tokens remain valid 🔑

⚠️ Important: The old endpoint will be fully disabled soon ⏳
We strongly recommend switching to the new endpoint immediately for the best experience. 🚀

🚀 New Method Added: Get Media Child Comments

We’ve updated our Instagram scraper — now you can fetch child comments (replies to comments) for media posts.

🔹 Request Parameters:

shortcode (required)
id_comment (required) Parent comment ID
end_cursor (optional) Used for pagination to load the next set of replies

🔥 Perfect for:

— discussion analysis
— scraping replies under comments
— monitoring engagement and activity

Fast, stable, and clean — as always 😎

🔔 API Update

The Search Hashtag endpoint now supports a new parameter: tabs.

This parameter allows you to select the content type:

top — top posts

recent — recent posts

clips — clips/reels

The parameter is optional and is passed as the second argument after hashtag.
