The YouTube Video Downloader is a powerful Apify Actor designed to seamlessly extract direct video and audio streaming URLs from YouTube. By providing YouTube URLs or Search Queries, you can easily obtain download links for various resolutions (e.g., 1080p, 720p, 480p) and audio-only formats.

Key Features

  • Direct Download Links: Get direct stream URLs for video and audio to easily download content.
  • Multiple Resolutions: Extract download links for various qualities including 1080p, 720p, 480p, and 360p.
  • Audio Extraction: Get URLs specifically for high-quality audio formats.
  • No API Key Required: Runs independently without needing any YouTube Data API keys.
  • Search Capabilities: Input search queries directly, and the actor will find the top videos and provide download links.
  • Detailed Metadata: Provides video metadata such as title, description, view count, likes, duration, and channel information along with download links.

Use Cases

  • Build media archiving applications.
  • Extract audio for podcasts or transcription.
  • Perform analysis on YouTube video contents.
  • Bulk download YouTube content for offline viewing.

Input Configuration

The Actor accepts the following input parameters:

  • urls (Array): List of YouTube video URLs to download.
  • searchQueries (Array): List of search queries. The Actor will scrape top results for each query.
  • maxResultsPerQuery (Number): Maximum number of videos to download per search query. Default is 10.
  • proxyConfiguration (Object): Apify Proxy settings to ensure the actor doesn't get blocked.

Output Structure

The results are stored in the default dataset. Each item represents a video with direct stream links:

{
"videoId": "dQw4w9WgXcQ",
"url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ",
"title": "Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Official Music Video)",
"channelName": "Rick Astley",
"views": 1500000000,
"durationSeconds": 212,
"downloadLinks": {
"video_1080p": "https://rr1---sn-nx5s... (direct link)",
"video_720p": "https://rr1---sn-nx5s... (direct link)",
"audio_only": "https://rr1---sn-nx5s... (direct link)"
}
}

Setup & Support

No special setup is required. The actor runs out-of-the-box using the Apify platform's proxy infrastructure.
