Download TikTok and Likee videos without a watermark

One GET and the response points at the rendition without the overlay, which is what makes the file usable as-is in a bot or a feed. vm.tiktok.com and vt.tiktok.com share links are followed for you, so you can pass whatever the share sheet produced.

curl -s "https://api.saveapi.org/v1/tiktok" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_xxxx" \
  -G --data-urlencode "url=https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/123"

The same call against the Likee endpoint. Likee publishes several variants of the same clip and some of them carry the overlay and a trailing outro — the URL you get back is the clean one. Both likee.video and the l.likee.video share form are accepted.

curl -s "https://api.saveapi.org/v1/likee" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_xxxx" \
  -G --data-urlencode "url=https://likee.video/v/abc"

A TikTok photo post has no video at all: you get the images as image entries and the background track as a separate audio entry. Check type on the response before you send it anywhere, or the slideshows in your feed will silently fail.

data = resolve("https://www.tiktok.com/@user/photo/123")

if data["type"] == "video":
    send_video(data["medias"][0]["url"])
else:
    images = [m["url"] for m in data["medias"] if m["type"] == "image"]
    track = next((m["url"] for m in data["medias"] if m["type"] == "audio"), None)
    send_album(images, track)

It means the file has no platform overlay burned into it. It does not mean the video is yours to republish — the creator still holds their rights, and both platforms' terms still apply to what you do with the file. Build for reposting with permission, saving your own uploads and archiving, not for wholesale re-uploads.

The URL you receive is a signed CDN address with a lifetime measured in hours, not days. If the file matters, fetch it when you resolve it. If it does not, resolve again later — that is 1.5 credits, and it is cheaper than a broken link in front of a user.

curl -sL -o video.mp4 "<medias[0].url>"
