Extracting downloadable media URLs from major social platforms requires navigating client-side rendering, signed API requests, session-bound tokens, and fragmented CDN storage that expires within seconds. The extraction logic behind this downloader acts as a lightweight proxy that negotiates these server-to-server handshakes and returns a stable, persistent asset.
The tool accepts direct URL modifiers to control the output behavior without requiring additional form submissions or client-side JavaScript. These parameters are appended to the shared video link and processed server-side before the response is generated.
Supported Query Parameters
?mp3 — Audio Extraction
Appending ?mp3 forces the extraction pipeline to discard the video container and return only the audio stream. The backend isolates the audio track from the adaptive bitrate manifest, re-encodes it if necessary to a standard MP3 container, and serves it as a direct download. This is particularly useful for podcasts, interviews, and music clips where the visual component is irrelevant.
Example: https://www.instagram.com/p/CpkF-M9Aq8O/?mp3
?txt — Metadata Extraction
Appending ?txt returns the post caption, description, or associated text content instead of the media file itself. The parser scrapes Open Graph metadata, JSON-LD structured data, and platform-specific API responses to extract the textual context surrounding the media. This is useful for archiving post content, sentiment analysis, or repurposing captions without manually copying text.
Example: https://www.instagram.com/p/CpkF-M9Aq8O/?txt
?hd — Quality Selection
By default, the tool returns the lowest available bitrate to minimize bandwidth and response time. Appending ?hd instructs the backend to parse the adaptive bitrate manifest—typically an M3U8 playlist for HLS streams or DASH manifests—and select the highest resolution variant available. If the platform provides a 1080p or 4K option, the tool returns that direct URL. When HD is unavailable, it falls back to the standard definition gracefully.
Example: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS8XLD8jM/?hd
?klink — Direct Playable URL
Appending ?klink bypasses the download wrapper entirely and returns the raw, playable CDN URL for the media asset. This is useful for embedding the video directly into external players, generating preview thumbnails, or passing the asset through your own proxy layer. The returned URL respects the platform's original content-disposition headers and TTL expiration windows.
Example: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS8XLD8jM/?klink
Platform Coverage
The extraction engine supports major platforms including Facebook, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, AliExpress, Amazon, Google Podcasts, SoundCloud, VK, Reddit, Likee, and Pinterest. Each platform has a distinct extraction handler that accounts for its specific API structure, rate-limiting thresholds, and content-delivery fingerprinting.
Telegram Bot Interface
The same backend logic is exposed through a Telegram bot interface. Submitting a video link to the bot triggers the identical extraction pipeline and returns the direct download URL inline. This abstracts the web interface and allows users to retrieve media without opening a browser. The bot handles the same query parameters—?mp3, ?txt, ?hd, and ?klink—by parsing the message text and routing it to the appropriate handler.

Testing the Parameters Programmatically
The parameters are designed to work predictably with command-line tools. A typical extraction flow can be tested with:
curl -I "https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS8XLD8jM/?klink" curl -L "https://www.instagram.com/p/CpkF-M9Aq8O/?mp3" --output audio.mp3
The first command returns the resolved CDN URL in the Location header without downloading the payload. The second performs a full extraction and saves the audio stream directly.

The tool is not a generic scraper—it is a purpose-built extraction layer that handles platform-specific edge cases, token renewal, and redirect resolution transparently. If a platform updates its API structure, the handler requires revision. This documentation reflects the current parameter behavior as of the latest update.
