Frequently Asked Questions
What does Media API return?
Media requests return available source URLs, formats and metadata. Scraping requests return structured data for the selected source and operation. Use the response examples above or the OpenAPI specification to explore the contract.
Does the API always download files through your server?
No. Resolving a media link returns source URLs without downloading the complete file. Your client downloads directly. It can request a tunnel or a temporary server copy when needed.
How does smart delivery know a direct link failed?
Your application or SDK reports the modes it actually tried through failed_modes. The API then chooses the next route. It cannot observe a download between your client and a source CDN on its own.
Are photos and music returned together?
TikTok photo posts return photos and their available soundtrack as separate items. Instagram carousels can also include available music. Each item keeps its media type so your app can handle it correctly.
Is video quality limited to 1080p?
No. Request best to retain the source's available formats, or set a quality ceiling up to 4320p. The API does not create extra renditions or reduce quality by transcoding. Some high-resolution formats require client-side audio/video merging.
Do media links expire or require source access?
Source URLs can expire or depend on headers, IP address or source authorization. The response includes known expiry and safe public headers. A temporary server copy has its own expiry after it has finished downloading.
Can I scrape any website?
Use the source catalog for dedicated operations across 20 sources. General web tools also return HTML, Markdown, screenshots, links, images and selector-based extraction. A successful response still depends on access to the public source; private content and unsupported operations are not promised.
Are payments and subscriptions available now?
The plans shown here are a local pricing preview. Billing is not enabled and no payment is collected. Estimates cover direct media resolution and scraping; server transfer pricing is separate.
