I thought I'm just extracting the final_download_link, so it would be okay. (As, in the end, content is getting served from their CDN)

From their perspective you are fiddling with their software to bypass restrictions requested by the content creators/uploaders. They will just ban your IP and be done with it. If they can't for whatever reason, I guess they'll have to start obfuscating the protocol.
