# Pull videos from YouTube and other social platforms

> Upload-from-URL now downloads public videos from YouTube, Google Cloud, Facebook, X, Instagram, Twitch, and other major platforms.

FastPix's media-download service now supports pulling public video content directly from the major platforms — YouTube, Google Cloud, Facebook, X, Instagram, Twitch, and others — through the existing upload-from-URL endpoint. You give us the URL of a publicly accessible video on a supported platform; we download it and feed it into the standard transcoding pipeline. From there it behaves like any other VOD asset — public or signed playback IDs, MP4 download, DRM, sprite sheets, and so on.

Highlights:

* **Multi-platform support** — Download videos from YouTube, Google Cloud, Facebook, X, Instagram, Twitch, and other major platforms.

* **Highest-quality resolution** — Automatically resolves and downloads the best available stream.

* **Standard playback options** — Public or signed playback IDs, MP4 download, DRM, sprite sheets, and all other VOD features.

To use the feature, call the existing upload-from-URL endpoint with the public video URL — no special parameter is required.

* **Public-only** — Only publicly visible content can be pulled. Private, unlisted, age-gated, subscriber-only, or geo-restricted videos will fail with an error.
