Vidjutsu does not currently provide Instagram reel keyword search, TikTok video
keyword search, or TikTok hashtag search. If those discovery operations are
essential, ask the user before using a separately authenticated Scrape Creators
account. Keep its x-api-key, responses, and billing explicitly external.
Stage and analyze a selected video
Scrape returns metadata and raw provider URLs; it does not stage media. For a
selected TikTok or Instagram page URL, call the platform download endpoint once
and use the returned tenant-owned CDN url:
POST /v1/videos/download/tiktok {"url":"<TikTok page URL>"}
POST /v1/videos/download/instagram {"url":"<Instagram page URL>"}
Then run:
vidjutsu watch --mediaUrl "$STAGED_CDN_URL" --prompt 'Return only JSON with hook, format, pacing, transitions, CTA, tags, and durationSeconds.'
Watch is synchronous, limited to 50/day, and returns output under response.
Never send the social page URL itself to Watch.
Output
Report ranked hooks, winning formats, pacing and CTA patterns, content gaps, audience sentiment, and platform differences. Preserve source URLs and evidence for every conclusion. Vidjutsu uses subscription daily limits.
