YouTube Music Downloader API

Overview

The YouTube Music Downloader API provides a powerful and flexible solution for downloading Music from youtube music. With support for multiple formats like MP3 and MP4. This API is perfect for developers looking to integrate seamless media downloading capabilities into their applications.

Features

• Download Video: Fetch and store high-quality music from YouTube music.
• Download Audio: Extract and save audio tracks in various formats, including MP3.

3. Video and Link Storage: Every time the API runs:

   • The video download link is stored in one dataset.
   • The actual video is stored in another dataset, enabling easy access and management of the media files.

The API accepts the following input parameters:

• url: The URL of the YouTube video or audio content to download.
• onlyAudio: A boolean flag (true/false) indicating whether to download audio only.
• useFFmpeg: A boolean flag (true/false) to specify if FFmpeg should be used for processing.
• proxy: (Optional) The proxy URL to be used for the download.

Note: Using a proxy is recommended to avoid being blocked by YouTube. However, it may increase download times. If you experience any issues, consider changing your proxy.

"status_code":200
}

Usage Example Python

The following example shows an full example of usage from running an actor to downloading the video on your device.

import requests
import mimetypes
from apify_client import ApifyClient
# Initialize the ApifyClient with an API token
# (You can generate your own Apify API token for authentication)
apify_client = ApifyClient('your_apify_api_token')
# Define the input for the actor that downloads TikTok videos
actor_input ={
"audioOnly":False,# Set to True if you only want to download audio, False for full video
"ffmpeg":True,# Whether to use ffmpeg for processing
"proxy":{
"useApifyProxy":True,# Enable the use of Apify Proxy
"apifyProxyGroups":["RESIDENTIAL"],# Specify the proxy group to use (e.g., residential)
"apifyProxyCountry":"HR"# Set the country code for the proxy (e.g., HR for Croatia)
},
"url":"TikTok_url"# The TikTok URL to download
}
# Start the actor on Apify and wait for it to finish
# (Replace 'demolitore/my-actor' with the actor you want to use)
actor_call = apify_client.actor('apilabs/youtube-video-downloader').call(run_input=actor_input)
# Retrieve the dataset associated with the TikTok downloader
my_dataset_client = apify_client.dataset('your_username/YouTube-Video-Downloader')
# Fetch the most recent dataset entry, which contains the download link
l = my_dataset_client.list_items(limit=1, desc=True)#Get the only last element inserted
url = l.items[0]['download_link']# Extract the download link from the dataset
# Download the file using the URL extracted from the dataset
response = requests.get(url)
# If the download is successful (status code 200), proceed to save the file
if response.status_code ==200:
# Get the Content-Type from the response headers to infer the file extension
 content_type = response.headers.get('Content-Type')
# Guess the appropriate file extension based on the Content-Type
 extension = mimetypes.guess_extension(content_type.split(';')[0])
# Extract the base filename from the URL and append the correct file extension
 filename = url.split("/")[-1].split("?")[0]
 filename =f"{filename}{extension}"# Combine the base filename with the extension
# Save the file to the local disk in binary mode
withopen(filename,'wb')asfile:
file.write(response.content)
# Print success message with the saved filename
print(f"File downloaded successfully as {filename}.")
else:
# Print an error message if the download fails
print(f"Failed to download file. Status code: {response.status_code}")
