Other endpoints

This chapter collects endpoints that sit outside the main flow but have been observed in clients and documentation.

"Likes You" 💳

RequestPurposeStatus
POST /v2/fast-match/count · GET /v2/fast-match/countHow many people liked you🟡 (method varies)
GET /v2/fast-match/teaser?type=recently-activeA single blurred preview🟡
GET /v2/fast-match/teasersA list of previews🟡
GET /v2/fast-match/previewPreview thumbnail🔴
GET /v2/my-likesSummary of your likes🟡

Limit: On a free account these endpoints only return blurred previews. In the past some projects exposed unblurred images through API flaws. Tinder closed those flaws, and such tools are deliberately left out of this book (chapter 13).

GIFs in chat 🔴

RequestPurpose
GET /giphy/trending?limit={n}Trending GIFs
GET /giphy/search?limit={n}&query={q}GIF search

Tinder uses Giphy for GIFs in chat and proxies these requests through its own server.

Connected accounts

RequestPurposeStatus
GET /instagram/authorizeStart an Instagram connection🔴
POST /instagram/authenticate · POST /instagram/deauthorizeConnect / disconnect Instagram🟡
GET /v2/profile/spotify · PUT /v2/profile/spotify/themeSpotify settings and profile anthem🔴

Notifications

RequestPurposeStatus
PUT /v2/push/notificationsNotification preferences (exact behavior undocumented)🟡
POST /v2/push/devices/web/{device_code} · DELETE …Web push device registration🟡

Reporting

RequestBodyStatus
POST /report/{user_id}{"cause": <number>, "text": "<explanation>"}🔴
POST /report/user/{user_id}Similar🟡

Report causes are a small set of numbers. To report a real problem, the app's own report screen is always the better choice. Automated reporting is very easy to abuse.

Sign-up (onboarding)

The sign-up steps (/v2/onboarding/fields, /v2/onboarding/photo, /v2/onboarding/complete, /v2/onboarding/user) have been documented. This book deliberately doesn't go into them. Creating accounts programmatically is almost only ever used for fake or bulk accounts. Create your account in the app.

Everything else

RequestPurposeStatus
GET /user/{user_id}/common_connectionsShared connections🔴
POST /user/{user_id}/shareProfile share link🔴
GET /group/friendsFacebook friends (the old "Social" feature)🔴
