v1.9.0
Meet the Mini plan. Mini replaces the old Free plan, and it is a better way to start: pay as you go, no subscription, perfect for developing with KonbiniAPI, prototypes and personal projects. New accounts still get 100 free credits on sign-up with no credit card, then you buy $20 bundles of 5,000 credits whenever you need them.Extra credits for monthly plans. Plus, Pro, Max and Ultra can now buy extra credits in prepaid $20 bundles at their plan’s rate. They replace the postpaid “extra usage” overage, so there are no surprise charges: you only spend what you have bought.Extra credits last 12 months after your last purchase, and they stay in your account even if you cancel. Plan credits work exactly as before.Existing subscriptions and balances are unchanged. See pricing for the plans and the credits page for how it all works.
​
v1.8.0
YouTube is live, our sixth platform. Reddit gains comment search, wiki pages, trophies and achievements, plus two small changes to Reddit responses, listed first. All new endpoints are also available as MCP tools.Changed
  • Two kinds of Reddit cursor changed format. Cursors that began with g:, and cursors from the comment-replies endpoint, issued before this release are rejected with 400; start that pagination again from the first page. Other cursors (such as t3_…) are unchanged.
  • Reddit hasReplies is omitted on listings that don’t load replies (user and subreddit comments, user overview, comment search, comment batch) instead of always reporting false. Thread and reply endpoints still return it.
YouTube17 endpoints for videos, channels, comments, playlists, posts, search and transcripts, in the same ActivityStreams 2.0 shape as every other platform.
  • Videos. GET /v1/youtube/videos/ for metadata, plus comments and comment replies.
  • Channels. Profile and about details, and separate feeds for videos, shorts, streams (live and past broadcasts), playlists and posts.
  • Search. Full search with sort and filter options, tag feeds, and search-box suggestions. YouTube has no public trending chart; sorting search by view count within an upload window is the closest equivalent.
  • Playlists and posts by ID.
  • Transcripts. GET /v1/youtube/videos//transcript returns WebVTT with per-language track selection, the same format as our TikTok and LinkedIn transcripts.
  • Stream URLs. GET /v1/youtube/videos//download returns every rendition YouTube publishes rather than a single file. Most carry only video or only audio, so you can pick or combine them yourself. As always, we return URLs and never proxy the file.
Reddit
  • Comment search. GET /v1/reddit/search/comments searches comments across Reddit, optionally within several subreddits at once (subreddits=drones,technology), and GET /v1/reddit/subreddits//search/comments within one subreddit. Both return the comments themselves, sorted by relevance, new or top.
  • Search by format. Post search accepts formats (image, video, gallery, gif, text, link), and every post now carries contentFormat with the same values.
  • Removed posts. Posts carry removedBy (author, moderator, automation, platform or legal) when they have been taken down, so a single post lookup tells you whether it is still up and why not.
  • Wiki pages. GET /v1/reddit/subreddits//wiki lists a subreddit’s wiki pages and GET /v1/reddit/subreddits//wiki/ returns one in markdown, with its last revision.
  • Trophies and achievements. GET /v1/reddit/users//trophies for the trophies on a profile, with the date each was granted, and GET /v1/reddit/users//achievements for achievements such as streaks. Both return Badge objects.
  • Subreddit post search moved to GET /v1/reddit/subreddits//search/posts, next to the new comment search. The old path keeps working.
  • Comment threads can sort by qa, Reddit’s Q&A sort for AMAs.
  • Search queries support operators: author:name, subreddit:name, "phrase" and -word to exclude.
  • Searching inside a subreddit includes its over-18 posts. Searches across all of Reddit still leave them out.
  • More reliable. Fewer failed requests when Reddit is having problems.
Instagram
  • More reliable location posts.
  • An empty trending feed returns 502 instead of an empty list, so a temporary gap isn’t mistaken for a feed with nothing in it.
​
v1.7.0
More fields on every platform, consistent parameter names, and a few changes to existing responses, listed first.Changed
  • Mentions carry the handle in preferredUsername. Inside tag, a Mention used to carry the handle as name. The handle is now in preferredUsername (as on every Person), and name is the display name when the platform provides one. Affects Instagram, TikTok and X.
  • Reddit posts return one image per framing. image used to list every size Reddit generates; it now holds the largest image of each aspect ratio. image[0] is unchanged.
  • X returns one attachment per video rendition, highest bitrate first, each with its own width, height and bitrate. attachment[0] is now the largest file.
Reddit
  • query and published. Search takes query (q is still accepted) and the time-window parameter is published, the name every platform uses (time is still accepted).
  • New fields. Posts: score, upvoteRatio, isControversial, duplicateCount, repostOf. Comments: score, isControversial and context (the post the comment belongs to). Authors: tag, role, isPremium. Subreddits: language, isQuarantined, hasWiki, allowedPosts, isArchived, access. likeCount and voteCount are deprecated in favor of score.
  • Posts pinned to a profile are marked isPinned, as subreddit stickies already were.
  • Fixed gallery image order, which didn’t always match Reddit’s.
Instagram
  • Post and comment authors carry isVerified, followerCount, isBusiness and isProfessional. Licensed audio adds the artist’s account, cover art, an explicit flag and the downloadable file.
  • Photos published in two framings return both.
TikTok
  • Transcripts moved to GET /v1/tiktok/videos//transcript with an optional language parameter, matching LinkedIn. The old path keeps working.
  • An unknown hashtag returns 404 instead of 500.
  • Videos pinned to a profile are marked isPinned.
X
  • Posts add language, isAdult, context, audience and generator. Profiles add verifiedSince, memberCount, language, category, pinned and tag. Communities add access and isAdult.
  • isVerified now reflects X’s identity verification, since legacy verification no longer exists.
  • Videos include their HLS manifest.
LinkedIn
  • Profiles add worksFor and alumniOf (organization, role and dates) and award. Articles add published.
All platforms
  • Posts and videos carry an icon thumbnail.
​
v1.6.0
New endpoints for Instagram and TikTok, plus several accuracy fixes. All new endpoints are also available as MCP tools.Instagram
  • 3 new endpoints: GET /v1/instagram/trending/reels for the public trending reels feed, GET /v1/instagram/search/popular for popular topic search, and GET /v1/instagram/audios//reels for reels using a given audio track.
  • Look up users by numeric ID. GET /v1/instagram/users/ now accepts an optional userId query param as an alternative to username — useful when you already have the ID from another response (e.g. a post’s attributedTo), since it also resolves faster than a username lookup.
  • Fixed video/reel view counts that had gone missing after a change on Instagram’s side.
  • Lowered the max page size for user reels from 12 to 8, the most Instagram returns per page.
TikTok
  • 1 new endpoint: GET /v1/tiktok/trending/videos for trending videos, with an optional region param to get results for a specific country.
  • Easier video downloads. Use the dedicated video download endpoint to get a direct, ready-to-use download link — no extra headers needed on your end. Video and story attachments elsewhere in responses (e.g. user videos, likes, and search results) no longer include a headers field, since it’s no longer needed.
  • Fixed bio links missing a URL scheme in some profiles.
LinkedIn
  • Fixed profile summaries that were sometimes showing a generic badge label (e.g. “Creator, Top Voice”) instead of the person’s actual headline/bio.
​

New platform covering users, posts, articles, comments, company pages, and post transcripts.X Communities support.

v1.4.0

The link is temporary (a few hours). Also available as an MCP tool.Extra credits on paid plans. Paid plans can now enable extra usage beyond their monthly credit allowance instead of hard-stopping at the limit, billed at cycle end and capped at the plan’s own price. Manage it from the new in-app billing page.
​
v1.3.0
Batch endpoints for Reddit. Fetch up to 100 subreddits, posts, or comments in a single request using the 3 new batch endpoints: POST /v1/reddit/subreddits/batch, POST /v1/reddit/posts/batch, and POST /v1/reddit/comments/batch.
