Works with Douyin, Bilibili, Kuaishou, Xiaohongshu, YouTube, TikTok, etc. ## Step 1: Capture video URLs ```json {"tool": "web_browser", "action": "capture_video", "url": ""} ``` This opens the page, waits for video to load, and returns all detected video URLs. ## Step 2: Download Pick the best URL from the result (prefer `mp4`/`playaddr`, avoid `thumbnail`/`poster`), then: ```json {"tool": "web_download", "url": "", "path": "video.mp4", "use_browser_cookies": true} ``` `path` is just a filename — no `~/` or absolute paths. ## Step 3: Send to user ```json {"tool": "send_file", "path": ""} ``` ## If login required Use `web_browser` to screenshot the QR code and send to user: ```json {"tool": "web_browser", "action": "screenshot"} ``` Wait for user to scan, then retry step 1. ## Rules - Do NOT use exec/curl/wget/yt-dlp - Always use `use_browser_cookies: true` in web_download - If capture_video returns empty, the video may need login or is DRM-protected --- > Source: [rsclaw-ai/rsclaw](https://github.com/rsclaw-ai/rsclaw) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
