## Stream URL Resolution (v2.2.0)
The `/api/stream` endpoint returns an **embed URL** (e.g., `vidtube.site/stream/...`). To get the **actual video URL** (m3u8/mp4), use the resolver:
### Step 4: Resolve Embed URL to Video URL
```bash
# Resolve embed URL to actual stream URL
curl "https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api/stream/resolve?id=MTF1dkFtaW9BRTZPbzJJRElFZUZr..."
```
```json
{
"success": true,
"results": {
"url": "https://vid-tube.site/hls/b32de9d4a3230c95f52948373e6e1549.m3u8",
"type": "hls",
"server": "HD-1",
"subtitles": []
}
}
```
### Get Quality Options
```bash
curl "https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api/stream/qualities?url=https://example.com/playlist.m3u8"
```
```json
{
"success": true,
"results": {
"qualities": [
{ "url": "https://example.com/360.m3u8", "quality": "360p", "width": 640, "height": 360 },
{ "url": "https://example.com/720.m3u8", "quality": "720p", "width": 1280, "height": 720 }
]
}
}
```
### M3U8 Proxy (CORS-Free Playback)
Browser video players often can't fetch M3U8 playlists directly due to CORS. Use the proxy:
```bash
# Proxy rewrites all relative URLs to go through our API
curl "https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api/stream/proxy?url=https://example.com/playlist.m3u8"
```
The proxy:
1. Fetches the M3U8 playlist
2. Rewrites relative `.m3u8` URLs → `https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api/stream/proxy?url=...`
3. Rewrites `.ts` segment URLs → `https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api/stream/ts-proxy?url=...`
4. Returns the rewritten M3U8 content with CORS headers
