Get a Douyin video as text
Turn a Douyin link into LLM-ready text: the spoken transcript, sampled frames, and the on-screen text burned into the video with approximate times. Handles 图文 image notes as well as video.
Why this one is hard
Douyin refuses anonymous requests outright — its web page serves a captcha and its APIs return 403 — so reading a post at all requires a logged-in session's cookies. yt-dlp does not support Douyin, so this path is ours end to end.
What comes back
Transcript with timecodes, timed on-screen text, the post's chapters and category.
Plus the metadata every digest carries: title, author, platform, posted date and the source URL. Video posts and image notes, including 图文. Long videos can be read transcript-first.
Use it
Paste a link like v.douyin.com/… or douyin.com/video/… into the console, or let an agent call it directly.
