Cloning

Clone a public TikTok or Instagram video into your own version with a swapped identity.
  • POST /v1/clones/check scores whether a staged source video will clone reliably. It returns a verdict (strong, possible, or weak), a 0-100 score, and the evidence behind it, so you can decide before using a generation attempt.
  • POST /v1/characters generates a reusable character and persists it under a char_... id. Create it once and reuse the id on every clone. List with GET /v1/characters, fetch one with GET /v1/characters/{id}.
  • POST /v1/clones/starting-image composes a clean starting frame from your character, with no captions, watermarks, or platform UI.
  • POST /v1/clones/video submits a Kling 3.0 Motion Control clone and returns a task id to poll with GET /v1/clones/video/{id}. Source clips are capped at 15 seconds.
See the clone viral videos guide for the full call sequence.

​
Discover

Pull structured profile, post, comment, and search data from TikTok and Instagram to find videos worth cloning. Scrape returns the provider’s raw source URLs and does not stage media.

​
Download

Stage one video’s file into a stable, tenant-owned VidJutsu asset with POST /v1/videos/download/tiktok or /instagram, one call per video. Repeated downloads of the same post reuse the same asset. Clone-check, frame extraction, and clone-video use the staged URL; starting-image uses frame 0 returned by extraction.

​
Understand

Use POST /v1/watch for prompted video or image understanding. Every watch request takes a prompt describing the evidence you need back from the model. Use POST /v1/transcribe for a speech-to-text transcript with word-level timing.

​
Compliance and finishing

Run a TOS/compliance check against configurable, tenant-owned rules with POST /v1/compliance/video and POST /v1/compliance/prompt before you publish. Burn a text overlay onto a video in TikTok-safe zones with POST /v1/overlay, or add a disclaimer card with POST /v1/disclaimer. Both return a durable output URL.

​
Clone tasks

The clone video call is asynchronous: POST /v1/clones/video returns a task id, which you poll with GET /v1/clones/video/{id} until the finished video URL is ready. Every other endpoint returns synchronously.

​
Interfaces

VidJutsu supports REST, a generated TypeScript SDK, the CLI, an agent-readable auth manifest, and an authenticated remote MCP server at https://api.vidjutsu.ai/mcp (OAuth 2.1 + bearer).
