How We Test Downloaders
Our testing process is designed to reflect real user behavior, not synthetic lab-only conditions. We run platform checks daily and perform deeper regression tests after code changes.
Test Coverage
- Instagram: posts, reels, stories, and public profiles
- TikTok: watermark and non-watermark cases
- X (Twitter): video variants and image posts
- Telegram and Pinterest: media extraction and format validation
Quality Checks
- Valid media URL extraction
- Playable output files
- Correct MIME type and filename
- Working download on desktop and mobile
- Fast fallback behavior on temporary API failures
Reliability and Monitoring
We log backend failures, monitor timeout spikes, and patch parser changes when social platforms update their response formats. We also verify that user-facing errors are meaningful and actionable.
Privacy and Safety
We do not require account login to download public content. We avoid storing personal identifiers beyond minimal operational logs required for reliability and abuse prevention.
Continuous Improvement
Downloader ecosystems change quickly. We track breakpoints, update handlers, and retest critical flows continuously so guides and tools stay accurate.
