1. Create an account

curl -X POST "https://api.urltodata.ai/v1/auth/register" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "you@example.com", "password": "your-password"}'
This returns your API key and 100 free credits to get started: 
{
  "user": { "id": "...", "email": "you@example.com", "status": "active" },
  "freeCredits": 100,
  "apiKey": "mp_abc123_secret"
}

​
2. Make your first request

Use the Authorization: Bearer header with every request: 
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer mp_abc123_secret" \
  "https://api.urltodata.ai/v1/youtube/video?id=dQw4w9WgXcQ"

{
  "id": "dQw4w9WgXcQ",
  "title": "Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up",
  "duration": 212,
  "channel": { "id": "UCuAXFkgsw1L7xaCfnd5JJOw", "name": "Rick Astley" },
  "viewCount": 1500000000,
  "likeCount": 16000000
}

3. Try a transcript

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer mp_abc123_secret" \
  "https://api.urltodata.ai/v1/youtube/transcript?videoId=dQw4w9WgXcQ&text=true"

​
4. Try cross-platform

The same API works across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X/Twitter, and Facebook: 
# TikTok metadata
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer mp_abc123_secret" \
  "https://api.urltodata.ai/v1/metadata?url=https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/123"

# Instagram transcript
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer mp_abc123_secret" \
  "https://api.urltodata.ai/v1/transcript?url=https://www.instagram.com/reel/ABC123/&text=true"
