Developer API
One API for video data, subtitles, and transcription
One request returns title, author, thumbnail, and duration from YouTube, TikTok, and Douyin; YouTube/TikTok also expose native caption tracks.
Douyin has no caption API—use transcription. Other platforms can fall back to ASR when captions are missing.
Parameters, response fields, and full examples are in the API docs, so you can integrate quickly.
