| this update features a TON of improvements. | |
| [developers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaVTHG-Ev4k), you now can rely on cobalt for getting content from social media. the api has been revamped and [documentation](https://github.com/imputnet/cobalt/tree/main/docs/api.md) is now available. you can read more about API changes down below. go crazy, and have fun :D | |
| if you're not a developer, here's a list of changes that you probably care about: | |
| - rate limit is now approximately 8 times bigger. no more waiting, even if you want to download entirety of your tiktok "for you" page. | |
| - some updates will now have expressive banners, just like this one. | |
| - fixed what was causing an error when a youtube video had no description. | |
| - mp4 format button text should now be displayed properly, no matter if you touched the switcher or not. | |
| next, the star of this update — improved api! | |
| - main endpoint now uses POST method instead of GET. | |
| - internal variables for preferences have been updated to be consistent and easier to understand. | |
| - ip address is now hashed right upon request, not somewhere deep inside the code. | |
| - global stream salt variable is no longer unnecessarily passed over a billion functions. | |
| - url and picker keys are now separate in the json response. | |
| - cobalt web app now correctly processes responses with "success" status. | |
| if you currently have a siri shortcut or some other script that uses the GET method, make sure to update it soon. this method is deprecated, limited, and will be removed entirely in coming updates. | |
| if you ever make something using cobalt's api, make sure to mention [@justusecobalt](https://twitter.com/justusecobalt) on twitter, i would absolutely love to see what you made. |
