this update features a TON of improvements.
|
|
|
|
<a class="text-backdrop link" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaVTHG-Ev4k" target="_blank">developers</a>, you now can rely on cobalt for getting content from social media. the api has been revamped and <a class="text-backdrop link" href="https://github.com/imputnet/cobalt/tree/current/docs/API.md" target="_blank">documentation</a> 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.
