The Aol.Com link is resolved by our media extractor. It asks Aol.Com for the list of renditions it publishes for that item, takes the best progressive one and streams it through to you as the GIF file. Nothing is transcoded on the way, so quality is whatever Aol.Com encoded at. Aol.Com's extractor is currently flagged as unreliable upstream, so an occasional failure there is expected rather than surprising. The renditions we see from Aol.Com arrive as MP4. No credentials are involved anywhere in this path — neither yours nor ours.
Shortcut — stick tikt.com/ on the front of the Aol.Com address instead of copying it here:
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 Aol.Com which renditions exist for that item and picks the best progressive one rather than assuming a quality.
The file arrives in the container Aol.Com 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.
