How it works

The actor uses yt-dlp — the open-source standard for TikTok extraction. URLs are resolved by querying TikTok's public web endpoints and parsing the embedded video manifest.

Cost & speed

URLs resolve in 2–4 seconds per video. Memory stays under 256 MB. You only pay for compute time used.

FAQ

Q: Is the watermark removed? The URL returned is TikTok's source MP4. Whether it carries a watermark depends on TikTok's behavior at the time of resolution.

Q: Does this work for private videos? No. Only public videos.

Q: Why does my download URL expire? TikTok signs CDN URLs with a time-limited token. Re-run the actor for fresh URLs.

Q: Does the actor download the file? No — it returns the direct URL. Download with curl, wget, ffmpeg, or any HTTP client.

Q: Is downloading legal? For your own content and Creative Commons material, yes. For copyrighted content, comply with TikTok's Terms of Service and your local copyright law.
