- User submits a URL → Client sends
POST /api/resolvewith{ url }. - Direct file detection → If the URL ends in a known extension (
.mp4,.mp3,.jpg, etc.), it's returned immediately. - Platform routing → The hostname is matched to a platform (YouTube, Instagram, etc.).
- Extractor runs → Each platform has a native extractor that fetches public data and extracts media URLs.
- Fallback → If no direct media is found, a fallback action (open original, helper services) is returned.
