🔥 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

⚠️ 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.

🚀 New Feature: Telegram Notifications

Stay on top of your API usage with real-time Telegram notifications!

📱 What's New:
• Get instant alerts when your balance drops below your threshold
• Receive warnings when your request quota is running low
• Never miss important updates about your account

⚙️ How It Works:
1. Connect your Telegram account in Settings → Notifications
2. Set your custom thresholds for balance and requests
3. Enable notifications separately for balance and requests
4. Get notified automatically when limits are reached

💡 Smart Features:
✅ Separate controls for balance and request notifications
✅ Balance notifications only sent if you have an active plan
✅ One notification per day (no spam!)
✅ Direct link to top up your balance

🎛 Flexible Settings:
• Enable/disable balance notifications independently
• Enable/disable request notifications independently
• Set different thresholds for each notification type
• Balance alerts only trigger when you have an active subscription

Don't let low balance or request limits catch you off guard. Set up your notifications now and stay in control!

We carried out technical work on the API: we fixed errors that could cause individual requests to fail in a number of scenarios.
We have implemented a fix and stabilized data processing. Everything is working normally now.

⚠️ Note: when requesting the next page, you must include the acc_id parameter obtained from the first response.

"pagination":{"id_acc":1648512}

The same approach is used for hashtag pagination as well.

⚠️ Dear users!

We are currently experiencing temporary issues with Instagram API requests.

This may cause some features to become unstable or experience delays. We are currently working to resolve the issue and are doing everything possible to restore stable service as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding and patience ❤️

✅ We have added our own proxy servers to the rotation.

The new proxies are already being used in production and are showing excellent response rates during testing. This helps improve request stability, reduce errors, and increase the overall reliability of data collection.

We will continue monitoring performance and gradually expand the proxy pool to maintain the best possible results for our users.

Thank you for your patience and support! 🚀

✅ Location endpoints have been restored

Lookup for locations has been fixed, and it now responds stably:

• /location_search/?name= — search for locations by name
• /locations/?location_id= — media by location id

🔧 Technical work

Currently, technical work is being carried out on the servers to improve the stability and quality of the API.

During the work, the following is performed:

⚡️ optimization of request processing;
🚀 improvement of the server infrastructure performance;
📈 improvement of the API response speed;
🛡 strengthening the stability and fault tolerance of the services.

During the work, there may be short-term interruptions in the API operation or an increase in the response time of individual methods.

We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. We are doing our best to make the service even faster, more stable, and reliable. 💙

🚀 Updates

We continue to improve the stability and performance of the API.

✅ Higher percentage of successful responses
Even in complex cases, the system now uses additional request processing mechanisms, which helps to obtain results where errors previously occurred.

⚡️ `additional_info` works significantly faster
We have completely reworked the process of obtaining additional profile information. If previously the response could take more than 20 seconds or end in an error, now in most cases the data arrives in less than 2–3 seconds.

🛠 We’ve optimized error handling
We’ve removed unnecessary retries for requests that are заведомо unable to be completed. This has reduced the number of timeouts, decreased the load on the system, and improved the overall stability of the API.

Thank you for using FlashAPI! ❤️

Hotfix /ig/info

False User not found on existing accounts - fixed. Bounced sessions are no longer masked as “not found,” and the backup pressure has been strengthened.
