# Node  *client.*

Quick answer: use the one-file Node 18+ client when an automated video tool needs a sound recommendation, TikTok sound URL, brief, captions, and boundary copy. It implements `describeToPublishablePack(clip)` , clip in, publishable pack out.

[Download wouldliker.js→](https://wouldliker.com/developers/examples/nodejs/wouldliker.js)[Back to examples→](https://wouldliker.com/developers/examples/)

01Install

## Save the  *file.*

```bash
curl -O https://wouldliker.com/developers/examples/nodejs/wouldliker.js
```

No dependencies. No `package.json` required.

02Use it

## Two calls,  *one helper.*

```js
import { describeToPublishablePack } from "./wouldliker.js";

const pack = await describeToPublishablePack({
  description: "Unboxing our new ceramic coffee mug, pour shot, 22 seconds",
  platform: "tiktok",
  content_type: "product_reveal",
  duration_seconds: 22,
});

console.log(pack.sound.tiktok_sound_url);
console.log(pack.captions.with_hashtags);
console.log(pack.copy_boundary);
```

The helper calls `POST /api/recommend` then `POST /api/brief`, and returns a flat object with `sound`, `why`, `avoid_if`, `saturation_state`, `proof`, `brief`, `captions`, `hashtags`, `aigc_disclosure`, and `copy_boundary`.

03CLI demo

## Try it from  *the terminal.*

```bash
node wouldliker.js "Unboxing my new ceramic mug, 22s, warm morning light"
```

Prints the publishable pack as JSON. Useful as a smoke test or as a piece of a shell pipeline.

04What it does not do

## No upload.  *No audio.*

The client returns metadata. Your existing TikTok upload step attaches the sound URL at publish time and files the AIGC label. No audio bytes are downloaded.
