  const res = await fetch(
    `https://playterabox.online/api/extract?url=${encodeURIComponent(teraboxUrl)}`
  );
  const data = await res.json();
  return data.streams.hls; // HLS stream URL
}

// Usage with HLS.js
const streamUrl = await getTeraBoxStream('https://1024terabox.com/s/...');
const hls = new Hls();
hls.loadSource(streamUrl);
hls.attachMedia(videoElement);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Python Example 

import requests

def get_terabox_stream(terabox_url: str) -> str:
    response = requests.get(
        'https://playterabox.online/api/extract',
        params={'url': terabox_url}
    )
    data = response.json()
    return data['streams']['hls']

# Usage
stream_url = get_terabox_stream('https://1024terabox.com/s/...')
print(stream_url)  # Returns HLS stream URL
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
