+# Scraper Downloader API Fix Specification
+
+## Goal
+Fix all 15 broken downloader endpoints that return HTTP 500, replace dead third-party APIs with working alternatives, and re-test with real URLs from real platforms.
+
+## Current State Analysis
+
+### Working Endpoints (HTTP 200):
+| Platform | Provider | Notes |
+|----------|----------|-------|
+| TikTok | tikwm.com | ✓ Working (tiktok.com API) |
+| MediaFire | mediafire | ✓ Direct page scrape |
+| Mega | mega.co.nz | ✓ Valid error messages for bad URLs |
+| GDrive | gdrive | ✓ Valid error for missing file ID |
+| Pinterest | pinterestdownloader.io | Returns 200 with `{success:false, error:"Unknown error occurred."}` |
+| Threads | downr.org | Returns 500 (via fetch_snapsave → fetch_all_in_one) |
+
+### Broken Endpoints (HTTP 500):
+| Platform | Upstream API | Error |
+|----------|-------------|-------|
+| YouTube | media.savetube.me | DNS resolution failure |
+| Instagram | downr.org | 403 action_forbidden (Cloudflare) |
+| Facebook | downr.org | 403 action_forbidden (Cloudflare) |
+| Twitter | savetwitter.net | API returns 404 "Video not found" but code crashes on missing data field |
+| Spotify | ytdlpyton.nvlgroup.my.id | DNS resolution failure |
+| SoundCloud | ytdlpyton.nvlgroup.my.id | DNS resolution failure |
+| PixelDrain | pixeldrain.com | Code crashes parsing viewer_data (wrong regex?) |
+| KrakenFiles | krakenfiles.com | API returns 403/empty |
+| Danbooru | danbooru.donmai.us | Returns 404 |
+| DoodStream | d000d.com | Proxy worker dead |
+| TeraBox | tera2.sylyt93.workers.dev | DNS resolution failure |
+| Bilibili | cobalt instances | Cobalt DNS failures |
+
+## Root Cause
+1. **Error Handling Bug**: `ScrapingError::Http` maps to `AppError::Internal` (HTTP 500) via the `From<ScrapingError>` impl in error.rs. This was already patched to `AppError::ScraperError` → HTTP 502, but **the running binary hasn't been rebuilt**.
+2. **Dead Upstream APIs**: Many third-party APIs have moved/changed/blocked requests from VPS IPs.
+3. **Error Propagation**: Fetch functions use `.unwrap()` on JSON paths (`resp["data"]`, `resp["download_url"]`) which panics when the upstream returns an unexpected response structure, causing HTTP 500.
+
+## Fix Plan
+
+### Fix 1: Robust error handling (no panics on missing JSON fields)
+Replace all `.unwrap()` and direct indexing (`resp["key"]`) with proper `.get()` + error handling. When upstream returns an error response, return `DownloadResult::error("...")` instead of panicking.
+
+### Fix 2: Replace dead upstream APIs
+
+#### YouTube (media.savetube.me → multiple alternatives)
+- Primary: Use yt-dlp subprocess via `std::process::Command` (industry standard, handles all platforms)
+- Fallback: `https://co.wuk.sh/api/json` (Cobalt instance)
+- Fallback: `https://api.tikmate.app/api/lookup` for TikTok
+
+#### Instagram/Facebook (downr.org → alternatives)
+- Primary: Use yt-dlp subprocess
+- Fallback chain: `snapsave.app/action.php`, `ddownr.com`, `qurls.app`
+
+#### Twitter (savetwitter.net → alternatives)
+- Primary: Use twitsave.com (which returned 200 but no MP4 for that test URL)
+- Add proper handling for 404 status code from savetwitter.net API
+- Fallback: `https://twitsave.com/info?url=...`
+
+#### Spotify (ytdlpyton → alternatives)
+- Use Spotify API for metadata + alternative audio source
+- Replace with direct Spotify metadata API (already has a fallback to spotify.com API for metadata)
+
+#### Pinterest (pinterestdownloader.io → alternatives)
+- Use yt-dlp subprocess
+- Fallback: `https://savepin.app`, `https://pin-downloader.com`
+
+#### PixelDrain (fix existing code)
+- The regex for extracting viewer_data is wrong - test with real URLs
+
+#### KrakenFiles
+- Fix the POST request (the API likely changed)
+
+#### Danbooru
+- The API key may be required now
+
+#### DoodStream
+- The proxy worker (rv.lil-hacker.workers.dev) is dead - need new proxy
+
+#### TeraBox
+- The workers.dev endpoint is dead - find new endpoint
+
+#### Bilibili
+- Use working Cobalt instance or the direct API
+
+### Fix 3: Add yt-dlp as universal fallback
+Install yt-dlp binary on the VPS. Add a generic download function that shells out to yt-dlp for any platform that fails with its primary API. yt-dlp handles YouTube, IG, FB, Twitter, TikTok, SoundCloud, etc.
+
+### Fix 4: Improve DownloadResult error messages
+Ensure every error path returns a descriptive `DownloadResult::error("...")` with platform-specific failure info, not a generic 500.
+
+## Files to Modify
+1. `/home/code/scraper/src/presentation/error.rs` - Already patched (ScrapingError → 502)
+2. `/home/code/scraper/src/infrastructure/repository/downloader.rs` - Main fix target
+3. `/home/code/scraper/Cargo.toml` - Add tokio-process for yt-dlp subprocess
+4. `tests/` - Add integration tests with real URLs (non-flaky)
+
+## Verification
+- Rebuild and restart the scraper binary
+- Test each endpoint with REAL platform URLs
+- Verify HTTP status codes are 200 (with success=false data) or 502 (Bad Gateway), never 500
