Pull videos from YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, X, Google Drive, and Instagram
Back to Changelog
FastPix’s Upload-from-URL endpoint now accepts public videos from the following platforms:
- YouTube — the video must be publicly listed (not unlisted or private).
- Twitch — public VODs only. Live-stream URLs and subscriber-only clips are not supported.
- Facebook — the post must be set to public visibility, not friends-only.
- X (formerly Twitter) — the post must be from a public account.
- Google Drive — the file’s share permission must be set to Anyone with the link.
- Instagram — the video must live on a public account.
Private accounts, restricted regions, age-gated content, and login-walled posts will fail to upload. To verify access before submitting a URL to FastPix, open it in a private or incognito browser window. If the video plays without you logging in, FastPix can fetch it.
This expands the existing pull-based ingest flow — there are no API changes required. Submit any of the supported URLs to POST /v1/on-demand (or the equivalent SDK call) the same way you’d submit a direct file URL today.
