Simple Website/API for downloading instagram videos made with Next.js that actually works with no problem.

A website that lets you download Instagram videos easily and quickly. You can paste the URL of any public Instagram post and get the video file in MP4 format. there is also an API that you can use to integrate this functionality into your own applications.

In order to reduce the load on the API and ensure optimal performance, I have implemented rate limiting using Upstash. This integration allows me to restrict the number of requests made to the API within a specified time frame, preventing excessive traffic and potential service disruptions.

To enable this feature follow these steps:

1. Create an account onupstash.com.
2. Create a new Redis database.
3. Click on the newly created database.
4. Scroll down to REST API, click on.env and copy the two variables provided.
5. Create a new.env.local file in the root directory.
6. Paste what you copied inside and addUSE_UPSTASH and set it totrue.

Here is what your.env.local should look like:

# ...other variablesUSE_UPSTASH="true"UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL="YOUR-UPSTASH-URL"UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN="YOUR-UPSTASH-TOKEN"

All ratelimit configs can be found insrc/features/ratelimit/constants.ts.

If you would like to change the identifier (default is IP) you can change it insrc/middleware.ts.
