The extractor recognises 18 distinct Instagram URL shapes, which is why the link already sitting in your address bar normally works without you hunting for a share button. Whatever it resolves to comes back with its container intact. Instagram is one of the few platforms wired into both routes at once, because its posts and its streams are genuinely different things. Instagram supports signed-in sessions upstream, which is precisely how it hides private material; we browse anonymously, so that material stays hidden. Items on Instagram are typically under a minute, so the files are small.
The address bar works too. Prefix any Instagram URL with tikt.com/:
tikt.com/https://www.example.com/path/to/media
A post link and a stream link are both fine here — they take different paths internally and you do not have to care which.
The URL shape decides the route: album-style Instagram links go to the gallery extractor, stream-style links to the media extractor.
A post can return several files and a stream returns one. Either way nothing was re-encoded on the way through.
Convert URLs into downloadable assets via a precise REST interface. Extract video, audio, and image streams with deterministic responses and process at scale.

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.
