Stream an image or cover
Re-fetches one asset and streams it back, with Range requests supported. TikTok’s own asset URLs are signed and expire within hours, so every asset in a response carries a downloadUrl pointing here instead. Only TikTok’s own CDN hosts can be fetched; anything else is a 400. This route serves images: photo-post frames, cover frames and avatars. A clip’s url is returned on the video, and that is what you use to open or embed it. Billing: 1 credit.
