Download multiple youtube videos from URL and save to the Key Value store
Supported URL formats
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...https://youtu.be/...https://m.youtube.com/...
Custom data
If you need to pass custom data to the output, set the userData object of the request in the startUrls array and it will be appended to the output
{"startUrls":[{"url":"https://www.youtube.com/...","userData":{"userid":"6236572396729"}}]}
Output
The generated output is the following:
{"url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn-bCRvhNUM", // original URL requested"hash": "52db6466", // the internal hash of the video, never changes between requests"partsUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/SOME_ID/records/52db6466", // the URL to the Key Value store where the video parts are stored"#error": false // hidden field if there was an error}
The video is chunked in parts of ~2MB each and saved to the Key Value store. To be able to download it, you'll need to download all the parts and concatenate them together. Here's a small example that can be used in the browser:
const{ appendFileSync }=require('node:fs');asyncfunctionmain(datasetId){const items =awaitfetch(`https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/${datasetId}/items?clean=true&format=json`).then((response)=> response.json());const firstVideo = items[0].partsUrl;// partsUrl contains the location to the Key Value store// get the parts from the Key value storeconst{ parts, length, contentType }=awaitfetch(firstVideo).then((response)=> response.json());console.log({ parts, length, contentType });// wait for all parts to be downloadedfor(const url of parts){// download part using fetchconst downloaded =awaitfetch(url);// get an arrayBuffer from the chunkconst arrayBuffer =newUint8Array(await downloaded.arrayBuffer());console.log(`Downloaded ${arrayBuffer.byteLength} bytes from ${url}`);// write downloaded chunk to fileappendFileSync('video.mp4', arrayBuffer);}}main('YOUR_DATASET_ID');
