For Zapier, Make & n8n builders
Your automation can do everything.
Except touch a video. Until now.
Zapier can't fetch a video. Make chokes on big files. n8n needs a server babysitting yt-dlp. Importly is one HTTP step that turns any public video or audio URL into a file your workflow can actually use — no code, no servers, no browser hacks.

Browser-automation hacks
No more headless-browser steps that break every time a site changes its player. One API call, one clean result.
File-size limits
We deliver a signed URL to the file, not the file through your automation platform — so a 2GB video costs your Zap nothing.
500+ platforms, one step
YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Vimeo, SoundCloud and hundreds more — same request shape for all of them.
Files where you need them
Webhook back into your flow, or push straight to your own S3/R2 bucket. From there: Drive, Airtable, Notion, anywhere.
Retries and rate limits
Blocked or throttled sources are our problem. Your scenario just gets the result or a clean, catchable error.
No server, ever
Nothing to host, patch, or wake up for. If you can add an HTTP step, you're done.
How it works
1
Get a key
Sign up, $3 credit lands instantly. Copy your API key from the dashboard.
2
Add one HTTP step
Paste the recipe for your platform — Zapier webhook, Make HTTP module, or n8n HTTP Request node.
3
Catch the file
A webhook returns a signed file URL plus title, duration, and size. Route it anywhere your automation goes.
One HTTP step. Every video platform. Zero servers.
Self-serve. Stop any time. Your $3 credit doesn't expire.
