What to know about Douyin
- The same video can come in more than one quality. Keep the first item labelled HD, else the first video.
- Share text copied from the Douyin app often wraps the link in other words. Send only the URL.
- Only public posts work. Errors never use up a download.

Headers: X-API-Key: $OMNI_API_KEY, Content-Type: application/json,
User-Agent: my-agent/1.0
Body: {"url": ""}
Supported: Instagram (posts, reels, carousels), TikTok (videos, photo posts),
Threads, Facebook (videos only), X/Twitter, Pinterest, Douyin.
The answer has data.media[]: each item has "type" (image, video or audio)
and "url" (a direct CDN link). Rules:
- Download every url right away; links expire within hours.
- Skip "audio" items unless asked for sound.
- TikTok, Douyin, Facebook and Pinterest list the same video in several
qualities: take only the first video whose quality contains "HD", else the
first video.
- Instagram, Threads and X carousels list different files: take all of them.
- An item without "url" has "formats": take its first video, else first image.
- Save files with the extension from the url (.jpg, .mp4 ...).
