Get download links

To be able to access and get the video download link, you need to use a proxy

Without a proxy, you will not be able to access it or it may be blocked

Depending on the platform you need to use, you can flexibly use Datacenter or Residential

The best and most economical way is to try the Datacenter proxy first, if it doesn't work then switch to Residential

Most sites can be accessed using Residential so this type of proxy is more expensive than Datacenter

Which Proxy should I use?

The recommended proxy type is: Residential, Datacenter

You can also use Own Proxies, but this proxy you have to make sure it is private or residential to ensure successful access to the platform you want to get the download link from.

The best proxy to use is Residential
