Migration from RapidAPI 🏃‍➡️

What Happened? 🤔​

We have received a notification from RapidAPI that, starting March 14, 2025, they will be removing APIs related to social media scraping from their marketplace.

This means that if you are using our services through RapidAPI, API requests, new subscriptions, renewals, and any other interactions with our API on their platform will no longer be available after March 14.

However, this does not mean we are discontinuing our services. While RapidAPI has been a significant platform for us, with over 10,000 active monthly users, we also work directly with our clients through our website, RocketAPI, where we have been offering plans starting at 100K requests per month. To accommodate our users with the ULTRA (50K/mo) subscription on RapidAPI, we have now introduced a 50K requests per month plan on our website.

The good news is that working directly with us means faster and more stable API performance!

We provide identical endpoints to those on RapidAPI—and even more options directly through our platform.

tip

We accept payments via bank cards, Apple Pay, and other methods.

We provide invoices and any other necessary documentation to support your business needs.

We recommend not delaying the transition and migrating to our service as soon as possible to prevent any potential disruptions in operations.

Below, you'll find a simple guide on how to seamlessly migrate from RapidAPI to our direct service. The migration process will take only a few minutes for you and your developers.

Migration Guide 📄​

First, you will need an account on our website. If you don't have one yet, you can sign up here: https://rocketapi.io/dashboard/signup/

Upon registration, you will receive 100 free requests for testing.

When you're ready, you can switch to a paid plan on the subscription page: https://rocketapi.io/dashboard/upgrade/

We offer alternatives to the ULTRA plan (50K requests per month) with our "Startup Mini" plan, as well as an alternative to the MEGA plan (100K requests per month) with our "Startup" plan. Additionally, we provide plans for 500K and 1M requests per month. If you require a higher volume, feel free to contact us for a custom offer at Telegram or [email protected].

Technically, migrating from RapidAPI to our direct service is very simple—you only need to make two small changes in your code:

  1. Update the Base URL from:

https://rocketapi-for-instagram.p.rapidapi.com/

to:

https://v1.rocketapi.io/

For example, if you previously used the Get User Media method with the following endpoint:

https://rocketapi-for-instagram.p.rapidapi.com/instagram/user/get_media

Simply replace it with:

https://v1.rocketapi.io/instagram/user/get_media

  1. Replace the authentication header:
  • Instead of x-rapidapi-key (your old RapidAPI key),
  • Use Authorization with the value Token your-api-key

For example: Authorization: Token 123abc456def, where 123abc456def is your actual API key.

Your API key can be found in your dashboard: https://rocketapi.io/dashboard/

That's It! 🙂​

All methods retain identical request parameters and responses. If you need any additional assistance with integration, don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at Telegram or [email protected]—we're happy to help! ❤️
