parse_douyin_video_infoLABSCO SUMMARY
The words out of a short video.
Two things people want from a Douyin link — the clip without the watermark, and what was actually said in it — come back from the link alone, with no download and no player in between.
What it is
An extraction tool for Douyin short videos: parse a share link into title and ID, get the watermark-free download URL, and run the audio through speech recognition to get the spoken script back as text.
What you get
- A share link parsed into the video's title and ID
- A watermark-free download link for the video itself
- The spoken script extracted from a video, from link to text in one call
- Local audio files and audio URLs transcribed on their own
- Audio too long or too large for one pass split and processed in segments
Requirements
uvx to run it. Parsing a link and getting the download URL need no key; transcription runs on SiliconFlow's SenseVoice and needs an API key set as API_KEY, with a DashScope key accepted instead.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — uvx douyin-mcp-server, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Getting the script out of a video you were sent
Parse the link, then take the transcript: the whole chain from share link to readable text happens without opening the app.
02
Saving a clip without the watermark
The link resolves to the video's title, ID and a clean download URL — enough to archive it or re-use the footage.
03
Transcribing audio you already have
A file on disk or an audio URL goes through the same recognition path, so it is not only for videos you found on Douyin.
04
Turning a batch of references into readable notes
Several links become several transcripts, which is what makes a set of videos searchable and quotable afterwards.
