Get the Douyin highest quality play URL of the video (app)

TikHub tool tikhub-api-douyin-app-fetch-video-high-quality-play-url on looot: input fields, $0.005 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Returns the Douyin highest quality (original upload quality) play URL of the video. Optional inputs: region, aweme_id, share_url. The highest quality video link cannot be obtained directly from the Douyin APP or web version, and must be obtained through this endpoint.

Inputs

Name Type Required Description
aweme_id string no Video id.
region string no Optional, ISO country code (e.g. CN/US/HK). Pass CN to get China-region CDN URLs for faster download in mainland China. Example: “CN”
share_url string no Optional, share link. Example: “https://www.douyin.com/video/7512756548356492544”

Output

Shape of the run’s result, the expected shape, not yet checked against real answers:

{ code, data: { video_id, file_size, content_type, file_size_in_mb, original_video_url }, docs, time, params: { region, aweme_id, share_url }, router, message, support, cache_url, time_zone, message_zh, request_id, time_stamp, cache_message, cache_message_zh }

Run it

Every call needs your API token in LOOOT_TOKEN; Sign in shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With wait: 30 the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll GET /v1/runs/<runId>.

Example input with placeholder values:

curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"tikhub-api-douyin-app-fetch-video-high-quality-play-url","input":{"region":"CN","aweme_id":"<aweme_id>","share_url":"<share_url>"},"wait":30}'
const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "tikhub-api-douyin-app-fetch-video-high-quality-play-url",
    input: {
      region: "CN",
      aweme_id: "<aweme_id>",
      share_url: "<share_url>",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),
    },
    json={

            "share_url": "<share_url>",
        },
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))

To let looot pick among every provider of this job instead, send job:api.douyin.app.fetch-video-high-quality-play-url as endpointId; see the job page.
