# A video's file from its link (own or with permission)

`POST /v1/web/video-file`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://apihub.co.il`
- URL: `https://apihub.co.il/v1/web/video-file`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Copies one public video from its link — an Instagram reel or post, TikTok, Facebook, X, Vimeo, or a direct .mp4 — to your storage, so you can cut, caption, dub or re-voice it with /v1/studio/* and /v1/video/*. Only for your own videos or a creator's who allowed you: `license` (own | permission) is recorded with the call and the video it is for (`source` in the answer). YouTube has its own call: POST /v1/youtube/videos/{id}/file. Private videos and ones behind a sign-in cannot be taken; picture and sound come as one mp4 (1080p at most). The file is deleted after 24 hours like every upload.

**Billing:** One transfer — plus the storage · **Rate limit:** 10/min
