Get Video

API endpoint to fetch a single video

Our API to fetch videos is not optimized for real-time usage within a production environment.

To enhance the efficiency of your video retrieval process, we recommend that you fetch the video links using the API and store them in a database. By employing this method, you can seamlessly access your video links from the database and stream them as needed.

It is important to note that our video API is subject to a rate limit. Therefore, we strongly advise against using it for video retrieval immediately before playback within a production environment.
