9News items are typically short, which makes this about as quick as a download gets: the file is usually complete before you have finished reading this sentence. Nothing is queued and nothing is processed server-side first. 9News is handled by the media route, which reads the site's own rendition list before choosing anything. The renditions we see from 9News arrive as MP4. No credentials are involved anywhere in this path — neither yours nor ours.
Either paste a 9News link above, or put tikt.com/ in front of any 9News URL in your address bar:
tikt.com/https://www.example.com/path/to/media
Use the address bar or the platform's own share button — both give a URL the extractor recognises. Point it at the single item you want, not the page around it.
Paste the URL above. The extractor asks 9News which renditions exist for that item and picks the best progressive one rather than assuming a quality.
The file arrives in the container 9News served it in, and the extractor does not rebuild it — so what you end up with is what the uploader encoded, for better or worse.
Convert URLs into downloadable assets via a precise REST interface. Extract video, audio, and image streams with deterministic responses and process at scale.
import requests
response = requests.post(
"https://api.tikt.com/api/download",
headers={"Authorization": "API_KEY"},
json={"url": "URL"},
)
for item in response.json()["items"]:
print(item["type"], item["url"])
Tikt.com does not retain downloaded files or log user activity. All media is processed in a stateless pipeline and transmitted directly to the requesting device.
