Video Download API
Use Case

Content Archiving

Content archiving is essential for preserving important video content across social media and video platforms. Our API enables you to systematically download and archive videos before they disappear due to deletions, policy changes, or platform shutdowns. Build comprehensive archives for research, journalism, or historical preservation with reliable, high-quality downloads.

Key Benefits

Preserve important video content before it's deleted
Create backups of viral or trending content
Build searchable archives for research purposes
Maintain historical records of social media content
Protect against platform policy changes

How It Works

1

Send the video URL to our API endpoint

2

Receive a job ID for tracking the download

3

Poll the jobs endpoint or use webhooks for completion notification

4

Download the video file from the provided S3 URL

5

Store in your preferred archival system

Example Implementation

Production-ready TypeScript code with secure webhook integration

archive-video.ts
1const API_BASE = 'https://api.endpoint-hidden-contact-us.com/api/v1';
2const API_KEY = process.env.VIDEO_API_KEY;
3
4async function archiveVideo(videoUrl: string) {
5 // Step 1: Submit download job with best quality
6 const params = new URLSearchParams({
7 query: videoUrl,
8 video_quality: 'best',
9 webhook_url: 'https://your-app.com/webhooks/video',
10 webhook_authorization: 'Bearer ' + process.env.WEBHOOK_SECRET,
11 });
12
13 const response = await fetch(`${API_BASE}/video/download?${params}`, {
14 headers: { 'x-api-key': API_KEY }
15 });
16
17 const { job_id } = await response.json();
18 console.log(`Job submitted: ${job_id}`);
19
20 // Step 2: Poll for completion (or use webhook)
21 const result = await pollJobStatus(job_id);
22 return result;
23}
24
25async function pollJobStatus(jobId: string) {
26 while (true) {
27 const res = await fetch(`${API_BASE}/jobs?id=${jobId}`, {
28 headers: { 'x-api-key': API_KEY }
29 });
30 const job = await res.json();
31
32 if (job.status === 'CompletedJob') {
33 console.log(`Download ready: ${job.result.response}`);
34 return job;
35 }
36 if (job.status === 'Error') throw new Error(job.error);
37
38 await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 2000)); // Wait 2s
