How this service works
Video metadata for any URL — TikTok, YouTube, Instagram Reels, X, Twitch, Facebook. Get title, duration, uploader, platform, and detected music track for any public short-form video URL. Works on ~1000 platforms via yt-dlp.
Output
A JSON object containing the video's title, duration in seconds, uploader name, hosting platform name, and detected background music track (artist and track title where available), sourced via yt-dlp.
Example use cases
Identify viral TikTok song
“I just saw this TikTok — https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/12345 — can you tell me what song is playing in it and who posted it?”
Verify YouTube Short details
“Can you grab the title, uploader, and duration for this YouTube Short: https://youtube.com/shorts/abc123def — I want to make sure I'm citing the right video.”
Catalog Instagram Reel metadata
“I need the metadata for this Instagram Reel — https://www.instagram.com/reel/XYZabc123/ — give me the title, uploader handle, duration, and any detected music track.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://api.hookfindr.com/api/x402/infoWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, structured metadata about a public social video — title, uploader, duration, platform, and music — without downloading or transcribing the video. It covers ~1000 platforms via yt-dlp and is notably strong on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, X, Twitch clips, and Facebook. Prefer it over transcription or caption endpoints when you only need surface-level video info or music identification.
Side effects
- Private or deleted video URL returns an error indicating the content is inaccessible
- Unsupported or malformed URL returns a validation error
- Music detection unavailable for some platforms or videos with no audio track
- Rate limits or yt-dlp extraction failures may return a 5xx error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the request at the x402 layer
