Unified Media API ● checking…
⚡ Multi-source · Provider-independent · Live now

One API.
Every medium.

Movies, music, short videos and universal social resolution — galleries with 100 images, mixed posts, honest 4K when the source truly has it. One normalized contract for every client you'll ever build.

Every number on this page is fetched live from /api/v1/capabilities — no fake metrics.

Built like a platform, not a scraper

🧲

Universal Resolver

Drop any public URL. Platform-specific adapters run first, the universal extractor covers 1,700+ sites, and every image and video comes back in original order.

🧬

Multi-Source Engine

Providers are health-tracked, latency-ranked and fail over automatically. You see which provider answered — and which ones were attempted — in every response.

🎯

Honest Quality

144p → 2160p labeled from real source pixels. Request 2160p and get a clear fallback report if the source only has 1080p. Quality is never manufactured.

🗂

Multi-Media First

A carousel of 100 photos plus 2 videos returns 102 items — counted, typed, dimensioned, with MIME types, durations and quality per item.

🔐

Secure by Default

SSRF protection, rate limits, request IDs on every response, normalized error contract. Secrets stay server-side — always.

📦

Portable

Env-driven, Docker-ready, zero cloud lock-in. Move the whole platform to a new VPS without touching application code.

Three steps. Zero guesswork.

If you can copy a link, you can use this API. That's the whole learning curve.
