what actually matters
when you move media

one shape for nine networks

Platform, type, title, author, thumbnail, duration and a list of files. The same keys whichever link you send.

links straight to the source

On most networks the media link points at the platform's own CDN, so nothing is re-hosted or stored on the way.

one balance for everything

A link costs one token, a YouTube download eight. Buy a month and spend it on any network.

Every kind of post comes back in one call, from one endpoint per network, in one shape your code already knows.

Counted live from the API's request log. A post that is private or deleted returns 404 and is the platform's answer, not ours, so it is not counted as an error.

questions people
actually ask

Anything else, ask in Telegram. A person answers.

Why tokens and not requests?
Because a request is not the same everywhere. Resolving VK is cheap for us; other platforms are not, and under a flat count the cheap ones pay for the expensive ones. Tokens let the price follow the work.
What happens when I run out?
Calls return 429 until the balance resets on the 1st. Nothing is charged beyond the plan and nothing is throttled silently. A call that fails on our side — a malformed URL, or an error of ours — costs nothing. A 404 does cost a token: by the time we know a post is missing, it has already been looked up.
How do I pay?
Message @gapidevbot and pay with Telegram Stars. Card checkout here is still being built, and we would rather say that plainly than put up a payment form that does not work.
How long does a media link last?
A few hours on most platforms, because the link is signed by the platform's own CDN and we hand it over untouched. YouTube is the exception at about a minute, since that file is assembled on request. Start the download when you get the link rather than storing it; asking again returns a fresh one.
Do you store the files?
No. What you get is a link to the platform's own CDN, so the bytes never pass through us and never land on your bill here. Two platforms are the exception and are proxied through our domain — that is a routing detail, not storage, and nothing is written to disk.
What about private or deleted posts?
They return 404, and that is the platform's boundary rather than a limit here — there is no login to add and no setting that changes it. A 404 does cost a token: finding out a post is missing still means going and looking.
