>> cobalt instances

instances

if you need a list of instances, you don't need to scrape the website, just use this api.
the api's endpoint is /api/instances.json, for this website the link will be http://instances.cobalt.best/api/instances.json.
make sure you change the user-agent! i'm blocking default user-agents to prevent bots from hitting my websites!
example user-agent: your-project/versionorcommit (+https://codeberg.org/kwiat/yourproject)

this is how the response will look like:
