REST API first, fast-launch resources when speed matters

Templates and resources for fast-launch downloader options

REST API remains the primary product for custom video downloader products. Use Widget API, Card API, Button API, and Templates when you need a smaller integration surface to launch faster.

Resource map

Choose the smallest useful launch path

Hosted embed

Widget API

Drop a hosted downloader interface into a page when you need the shortest path from idea to working UI.

Framed UI

Card API

Use a prebuilt card when your page needs a larger downloader surface with simple parameters and embedded behavior.

Compact action

Button API

Add a downloader action beside your own content, search results, or video detail pages without designing a full widget.

Starter projects

Templates

Start from React or Laravel examples for Widget API, Card API, and Button API launches.

Implementation tradeoffs

Use REST for control. Use resources for speed.

The REST API gives product teams full control over request flow, polling, UI states, pricing behavior, and error handling. The fast-launch options trade some control for hosted UI, simpler setup, and starter code that gets a downloader experience in front of users sooner.

Button API

Add a downloader action beside your own content, search results, or video detail pages without designing a full widget.

Tradeoff

Smallest interface footprint, with fewer states shown before the user clicks.

Starter projects

Templates

Start from React or Laravel examples for Widget API, Card API, and Button API launches.

Tradeoff

Best for fast scaffolding, but production products should still review branding, analytics, and error states.

Examples

Copy the pattern, then move deeper when needed

These examples show where each resource starts. Use the API documentation for full REST parameters, response shapes, progress polling, and authentication details.

Widget API

Hosted embed 
<iframe src="https://p.savenow.to/api/widget?adUrl=https://example.com"></iframe>

p.savenow.to is the default shared API host used in public examples. If your dashboard shows a custom API hostname, use that account-specific host instead.

Card API

Framed UI 
<iframe src="https://p.savenow.to/api/card2/?url=VIDEO_URL"></iframe>

p.savenow.to is the default shared API host used in public examples. If your dashboard shows a custom API hostname, use that account-specific host instead.

Button API

Compact action 
https://p.savenow.to/api/button/?url=VIDEO_URL&f=mp3

p.savenow.to is the default shared API host used in public examples. If your dashboard shows a custom API hostname, use that account-specific host instead.

Templates

Starter projects 
Download a template, add your URL/ad parameters, then connect the REST API when you need deeper control.

Downloadable templates

Browse downloads by framework, then pick the integration type

Start with the framework your team is already using, then choose the Button API, Card API, or Widget API variant. Older React starter archives remain available, but they are separated from the current templates so similar download names do not look duplicated.
