    Cool! Keeping up with platform changes is a challenge for projects like this. I think to be successful beyond initial popularity you need an active community that can do this together. It’s draining for just one person - especially once you get big enough that they might actively break things just to mess with your integration. Following maintenance of alternative YouTube clients as well as searx-ng is illustrative.

    Not to discourage but be prepared. Best of luck!

      I’ve already read that article, the situation on Instagram has changed a bit, which makes scraping easier.

      Ratelimits are still a problem if you don’t have a residential IP, but I have a workaround for that (which I’m hesitant to share publicly).
