Muloud supports 1000+ video and audio platforms including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter/X, Vimeo, SoundCloud, Dailymotion, Reddit, Facebook, Twitch, and hundreds more. If the URL points to a supported site, it just works.
No. Muloud extracts metadata only. It never downloads media files. This means low latency, low bandwidth, and no legal issues.
Most metadata requests return in 1-5 seconds. The /v1/resolve endpoint typically responds in under 500ms. All responses include a processing_time_ms field so you can measure performance.
Title, description, duration, uploader, upload date, view count, like count, thumbnail URL, live stream status, and the number of available formats.
Yes. The /v1/thumb endpoint accepts a size parameter: small (120px), medium (320px), large (640px), or original. It returns the best match plus a list of all available thumbnails with dimensions.
If a video is geo-restricted, Muloud returns a GEO_RESTRICTED error code with a descriptive message. Your application can handle this gracefully using the consistent error envelope.
Yes. Live streams return metadata normally, but the duration field will be null since the stream is ongoing.
Use the /v1/resolve endpoint. It follows the entire redirect chain (including meta-refresh redirects), detects the destination platform, and returns the final URL. Then pass that URL to /v1/info.
Yes. The Basic plan includes 100 requests per month at no cost. Upgrade anytime for higher limits.
Every endpoint returns a consistent JSON envelope: { "success": true, "data": {...}, "cached": false, "processing_time_ms": 1234.56 }. Errors follow the same structure with a code and message field.
