What is the Button API URL pattern?

The Button API uses an embeddable URL pattern like /api/button/?url=VIDEO_URL with optional format, color, ad link, and custom CSS parameters.

When should I use Button API instead of the REST API?

Use Button API when you want a compact hosted downloader action in an existing page. Use the REST API when your product needs custom request handling, progress polling, API keys, and full response control.

Can I use templates with the Button API?

Yes. The resources page includes React and Laravel Button API templates for faster implementation, while this reference explains the direct embed URL and parameters.
