Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 📺 Youtube Video & Audio Downloader API A lightweight and production-ready API that lets you **extract direct video and audio URLs** from public Youtube video links, along with rich metadata — built for developers, data teams, and AI agents. --- ### 📌 Overview The **Youtube Video & Audio Downloader API** allows you to submit one or multiple Youtube video URLs and receive: - 🎥 **Direct downloadable video URL** - 🎧 **High-quality audio-only URL** - 📊 **Structured metadata** (title, duration, engagement metrics, creator info, etc.) This API is designed with **stability, clarity, and automation** in mind, making it easy to integrate into data pipelines, media tools, and AI-driven systems. > ⚠️ This API supports **public Youtube videos only**. --- ### 🎁 What You Can Get From This API For each video URL, the API returns: - ✅ Direct **video playback URL** - ✅ Video title - ✅ Video duration (seconds) - ✅ Engagement metrics (likes, views) - ✅ Creator nickname & avatar - ✅ Creation timestamp - ✅ Per-URL error message (safe for batch jobs) All responses are returned in **clean, structured JSON**, optimized for programmatic use. --- ### 🧩 Typical Use Cases 💡 This API is ideal for: - 📥 **Video & audio downloading tools** - 📊 **Train audio classification systems** - 🧠 **Create multimodal datasets** - 🔁 **Batch processing of Youtube video URLs** Suitable for both experimentation and production workloads. --- ### 📥 Input Parameters #### (1) Input Format | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|----------------|----------|-------------| | videoUrls | Array\ | Yes | A list of public Youtube video URLs | --- #### (2) Input Example ```json { "videoUrls": ["https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iwC-WvSwm1I"] } ```` *** ### 📤 Output Parameters #### (1) Output Format Description | Field | Type | Description | |------------------|--------|-------------| | url | string | Normalized Youtube video URL | | videoId | string | Video Id | | title | string | Video title | | videoUrl | string | Direct video playback URL | | audioUrl | string | Direct audio-only file URL | | shortDescription | string | Video description | | thumbnail | string | Video thumbnail | | duration | number | Video duration (seconds) | | viewCount | number | Number of views | | likeCount | number | Number of likes | | author | string | Creator nickname | | avatarUri | string | Creator avatar image URL | | createTime | number | Video creation timestamp | | publishDate | string | API response timestamp (ISO format) | | category | string | Video category | | errMsg | string | Error message (empty if success) | *** #### (2) Output Example ```json [ { "url": "https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iwC-WvSwm1I", "videoId": "iwC-WvSwm1I", "title": "📲Vantage App - обзор нового суперприложения!", "channelId": "UCeQpv1_gx2b80rnqxp8eaYQ", "shortDescription": "Что если трейдинг, пассивный доход, Copy Trading и карта для расходов будут в одном приложении?\n\nВ этом видео разбираю новый Vantage App — платформу, которая может серьёзно изменить рынок в 2026.\n\nРазберём:\n✅ CFD трейдинг\n✅ Earn\n✅ Copy Trading\n✅ Сравнение с конкурентами\n\nVantage - https://vantagemarkets.onelink.me/eGEJ/kp8f7ec7\nLinkedin: @Vantage https://www.linkedin.com/company/vantagemarkets/\nINS: @vantagemarkets https://www.instagram.com/vantagemarkets\nFacebook: @Vantage https://www.facebook.com/vantagemarkets.glb\nTikTok: @vantagemarkets_global https://www.tiktok.com/@vantagemarkets_global\nYoutube: @vantagemarkets https://www.youtube.com/@vantagemarkets\nX: @vantagemkts https://x.com/vantagemkts\n▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬\n ✅Please Subscribe 📲 Telegram channel ▶ https://t.me/+m8fVhCrOEDcwZTUy\n 📲 TikTok ▶ https://bit.ly/3syAq8G\n 📲 X ( TWITTER ) ▶ https://x.com/7RWcrypto\n▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬\n ✅For cooperation 🔊 Рlease contact us directly at email : maximus71999@gmail.com\n 🔊 Telegram : https://t.me/RW719 или @RW719 \n▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ \n ⛔ Видео создано для ознакомления и не является призывом к каким-либо действиям.
