Build downloads with QuickT

QuickT documents how a mobile client would communicate with the service. It cannot submit production work until support approves the design and enables scoped access.

01

Quick start

For API host, QuickT checks support-activated credentials before an assigned tenant endpoint. This device-ready view also makes a server-only call path clear.

Tenant URLhttps://quickt.io
AuthenticationX-API-Key: pending_activation_…
Client profileQuicktRoute
API versionv1
# Available only after support activation
export QUICKT_ROUTE_TOKEN="issued-after-review"

curl -X POST https://quickt.io/v1/resolve \
  -H "X-API-Key: $QUICKT_ROUTE_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"route_source":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"}'

QuickT organizes Credential safety around server-side secret storage. Its device-ready view compares no client bundle embedding. No public logs or repositories remains the final check.

02

Resolve a link

For Resolve operation, QuickT checks source detection before formats from one submitted URL. This device-ready view also makes no invented outputs clear.

POST/v1/resolveScope: resolve
FieldTypeRequiredDescription
route_sourceHTTPS URLYesPublic or authorized media page to analyze.
tenantstringNoAssigned tenant domain. Usually omitted.
{
  "success": true,
  "platform": "youtube",
  "title": "Example video",
  "formats": [
    {"id":"18","type":"video","quality":"360p","container":"mp4"}
  ],
  "cached": false
}

QuickT organizes Format identifier around the returned value unchanged. Its device-ready view compares per-link availability. No guessed quality label remains the final check.

03

Create and follow a download job

To explain Job creation, QuickT separates asynchronous preparation from a short HTTP request. A device-ready view gives bounded worker execution its own place.

POST/v1/jobsScope: jobs
FieldTypeRequiredDescription
route_sourceHTTPS URLYesThe same normalized source submitted to resolve.
route_formatstringYesAn exact ID from the resolve response.
tenantstringNoAssigned tenant domain. Usually omitted.
curl -X POST https://quickt.io/v1/jobs \
  -H "X-API-Key: $QUICKT_ROUTE_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"route_source":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID","route_format":"18"}'

  -H "X-API-Key: $QUICKT_ROUTE_TOKEN"

One-second initial wait is the starting point for Job polling on QuickT. A device-ready view then presents capped backoff and explains temporary signed delivery.

04

Predictable errors

For Error contract, QuickT begins with one non-2xx envelope. Its device-ready view pairs that with a support request ID and ends with predictable client handling.

{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "RATE_LIMITED",
    "category": "rate_limited",
    "message": "Too many requests. Please try again shortly.",
    "retryable": true,
    "details": {"retry_after_seconds": 20}
  },
  "request_id": "…"
}
HTTPTypical meaningAction
400Invalid URL, body or unavailable format.Correct the request. Resolve again for formats.
401Missing, invalid, expired or wrong-scope key.Check the server-side credential.
403Tenant or source policy rejected the request.Do not bypass the policy. Contact support.
404Unknown or expired job.Create a new job if appropriate.
429Request or active-job limit reached.Honor retry_after_seconds.
503Queue/capacity or upstream temporarily unavailable.Retry with exponential backoff and jitter.
05

Operational contract

QuickT chooses mobile-client limits during approval so creator networks and the API remain responsive.

For Schema access, QuickT checks activation before exploration before assigned authentication. This device-ready view also makes documented request shapes clear.

OPERATOR-REVIEWED ACCESS

Activate through support

Describe the mobile experience, its traffic expectation and the creator networks it needs. QuickT uses that information to assign analysis and queue permissions before revealing the secret once.

Request activation Keys are tenant-scoped, revocable and issued through the Contact form. Anonymous scripts cannot execute downloader work.
