API reference

POST /api/download

Resolves a TikTok, Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube URL and returns download links and metadata.

{ "url": "https://www.instagram.com/reel/ABC123/" }

Video response:

{
  "success": true,
  "downloadUrl": "/api/video?url=...",
  "audioUrl": "/api/audio?url=...",
  "metadata": { "title": "…", "author": "…", "thumbnail": "…", "platform": "instagram" }
}

Photo carousel response:

{
  "success": true,
  "metadata": {
    "title": "…",
    "author": "…",
    "platform": "instagram",
    "images": ["…", "…"]
  }
}

GET /api/video?url=<encoded>

Proxies a video file with Content-Type: video/mp4, adding the correct Referer for TikTok / Tikwm / Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / YouTube CDNs (via lib/proxyHeaders.ts) and honoring HTTP range requests so preview/seek works.

GET /api/audio?url=<encoded>

Same proxy as /api/video but with Content-Type: audio/mpeg, so browsers treat it as an audio download.

GET /api/image?url=<encoded>

Proxies a single image with the correct CDN Referer and permissive CORS headers. Instagram's CDN refuses cross-origin browser requests, so Instagram image previews and individual downloads are routed through this endpoint.

POST /api/images

Fetches a list of image URLs. Returns either a JSON list of (proxied) downloadable URLs or a ZIP archive depending on asZip.

{ "imageUrls": ["https://…"], "title": "post-title", "asZip": true }

POST /api/slideshow

Renders a real MP4 from a TikTok photo carousel using ffmpeg, timing each image and laying the original music on top.

{
  "imageUrls": ["https://…", "https://…"],
  "audioUrl": "https://…",
  "perImageSeconds": 3
}

Source fallback order

The downloader tries providers in order and falls back automatically on failure.

• TikTok videos: Tikwm → Snaptik → SSSTik → direct scraping
• Twitter/X videos: vxTwitter → public Cobalt instances
• Instagram posts/reels: embed page (shortcode_media) → public Cobalt instances → web GraphQL
• YouTube videos/Shorts: public Cobalt instances → public Piped instances (metadata enriched via YouTube oEmbed)
• Facebook videos/reels: video plugin page (/plugins/video.php) → direct page scrape (browser_native_*_url) → public Cobalt instances

Deployment

The project deploys to Vercel with no configuration. It runs on any Node.js host that supports Next.js 16 (Node 20+, ideally 24 LTS).

@vercel/og requires the edge runtime; the OG and Twitter card routes are already configured for it.
