Douyin Video Parser Extension (Chrome)

 

A lightweight, open-source Chrome extension that helps users parse Douyin video page URLs and continue processing on GrabClip.

This extension works on supported Douyin video pages and provides a simple way to send the current page URL to GrabClip for further handling, parsed result viewing, and additional tools.

Introduction

This Chrome extension helps users work more efficiently with Douyin video pages by extracting the current page URL and sending it to GrabClip.

On GrabClip, users can continue working with the video link, view parsed results, and access additional processing tools.

The extension itself does not process media files locally. It serves as a lightweight bridge between Douyin video pages and the GrabClip web-based workflow.

The goal of this project is to provide a clean, permission-minimized browser extension architecture for Douyin video link analysis and processing workflows.

Features

• Parse Douyin video page URLs
• Send the current Douyin video page URL to GrabClip
• Open a new tab to the GrabClip Douyin page
• Support user-triggered actions from both:
  • the browser toolbar icon
  • the contextual action button injected into supported Douyin pages
• Let users continue processing video links on GrabClip
• Let users view parsed results on GrabClip
• Minimal permissions and lightweight implementation
• Clear separation between extension logic and web processing
• No local storage of user data or browsing history

Installation

Manual Installation (Developer Mode)

This extension can be installed locally for development or evaluation purposes:

1. Download this repository (Click Code → Download ZIP) and unzip it.
2. Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/
3. Enable Developer mode (top right)
4. Click Load unpacked
5. Select the unzipped project folder
6. The extension will appear in your browser toolbar

Usage

1. Open any supported Douyin video page in your browser.

2. Start the parsing process in either of the following ways:

   • Click the extension icon in the browser toolbar, or
   • Click the action button added by the extension directly on the Douyin page

3. The extension will automatically open a new tab to the GrabClip Douyin page.

4. On that page, users can continue working with the video link, view parsed results, and use additional tools provided by GrabClip.

The extension serves as a convenient entry point from Douyin, while link handling and extended processing are provided on GrabClip.
