SEO guide
Fix X video download errors — post permalinks, protected accounts, GIF-only posts, and t.co links on PasteGrab.
Overview
X download errors usually mean the URL is a profile page, a deleted post, or a protected-account tweet. PasteGrab needs x.com/user/status/ID links with media that plays logged out.
Some posts are GIF loops without audio — MP3 jobs will fail even when MP4 works.
Refresh t.co short links by opening them in a browser and copying the expanded x.com URL.
