Twitch VOD metadata + public clip export — everything the API openly provides.

What a clip URL and a VOD URL actually return

The Twitch VOD Downloader resolves any clip or VOD link into its public metadata — title, channel, duration, view counts — and exports clips through Twitch's open embed data instead of intercepting streams. Paste a clip URL for a 42-second highlight with 15,000 views and you get the full public picture, plus the share embed for your own site. Paste a VOD URL from a four-hour stream — 14,400 seconds of video — and you get the metadata and an honest answer: the MP4 chunks behind a full VOD are creator-gated, and the official export path runs through Twitch's creator dashboard.

That split matters, because people burn hours on tools that pretend otherwise. Clips are publicly fetchable. VODs are not, and no respectable tool changes that. If it's your channel, don't sit on it — VODs don't live forever on Twitch, and exporting right after the stream beats discovering your broadcast expired a month later. Want a specific moment saved? Clip it during or after the stream; once the clip exists, it's public data this tool can work with. Embeds also age gracefully — if the creator ever deletes the clip, your embed simply goes dark instead of leaving a broken file on your server.
