Glad the API endpoint is back up and running, thanks!

It seems the URL type= parameter, specified in the docs here and here, isn't working, e.g.

https://tdl.besecure.eu.org/api/download?url=https://www.tiktok.com/@thembta/video/7117992666561809706&type=downtik&rotateOnError=true

returns a JSON with "provider":"musicalydown" instead of downtik like specified. It seems to be defaulting to a random provider, specific to each video.

This is problematic because the tikmate provider, when that one happens to be chosen, returns "urls":[null] meaning certain videos cannot be downloaded.

It seems the URL `type=` parameter, specified in the docs [here](https://docs.tdl.besecure.eu.org/getting-started/how-to-use) and [here](https://docs.tdl.besecure.eu.org/additional/provider), isn't working, e.g. ``` https://tdl.besecure.eu.org/api/download?url=https://www.tiktok.com/@thembta/video/7117992666561809706&type=downtik&rotateOnError=true ``` returns a JSON with `"provider":"musicalydown"` instead of `downtik` like specified. It seems to be defaulting to a random provider, specific to each video. This is problematic because the `tikmate` provider, when that one happens to be chosen, returns `"urls":[null]` meaning certain videos cannot be downloaded.
