• publishedAt: ISO 8601 timestamp of when the video was posted (e.g. 2025-07-03T04:42:44.000Z)

Note: To download a TikTok video file, use the TikTok Video Download API. TikTok’s CDN URLs are signed to the IP that fetched them, so we don’t expose them on the stats endpoint — they’d 403 on your side anyway. The download API handles the IP-bound fetch server-side and gives you back a 1-hour pre-signed S3 URL that works from anywhere.
