Questions developers ask

What does Dify actually do with the API?

Dify calls the Video Download API through MCP: it submits your link, waits until the file is processed and gives you a signed download link. You never leave the chat.

Is this the same API as the REST endpoints?

Yes. The MCP tools and the REST API share the same account, minutes and supported platforms, so you can prototype in a chat and ship with HTTP calls.

Which links are supported?

Public videos from YouTube, TikTok, X, Facebook, Twitch, Dailymotion, SoundCloud and more. Private, removed, age-gated and live videos are rejected and not charged.

Can Dify download only the audio?

Yes, with a paid plan or a minute pack: ask for MP3, M4A or WAV and only the audio track is extracted. Free accounts get MP4 in the best available quality.

How do I keep my key safe?

Create a dedicated key for Dify. It only reaches your own account, and you can revoke it from the dashboard at any time.
