This is perfect for quickly testing, tracking, and analyzing a video — without needing to set up full integrations or authentication.

  • Only works with publicly accessible videos.

  • Large or unsupported formats will return an error message.

  • Limited by your plan’s video quota: Free plans: up to 3 videos. Paid plans: 5–50 videos depending on tier.
