Integration Code Example
Here is a Javascript example showing how to query the endpoint from your server-side environment:

const endpoint = `https://aerodownloader.com/api/info?url=${encodeURIComponent(targetUrl)}`;
const response = await fetch(endpoint);
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error('API query failed');
}
const data = await response.json();
return data;
}
