API

directdetect(link, [options])

Find the direct download link and download it as a readable stream. You can normally expect an MP4 with H264, but don't count on it.

options is an optional argument that if provided, is passed into the needle request functions. This is provided for a convenient method to change the browser's user agent or add an HTTP proxy.

directdetect.test(link)

Check if directdetect has a handler for your video link or not. Returns a boolean true/false value.

directdetect.sources

An array of the hosts directdetect supports.
