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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 to MP3 🎵 Convert **YouTube videos to MP3** audio and get a direct download link. High quality (best available audio → MP3), no login, no API key. ### What you get Per track: `sourceUrl`, `filename`, direct `url` (download link, valid ~24h), `sizeMB`. ### Example input ```json { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=..." }] } ```` ### 💵 Pricing **$0.02 per track** — pay only for what you convert. No monthly fee. ### ⏱️ Limits A run lasts at most ~10 minutes; download links are valid for ~24 hours. *** ### ⏳ Download link retention Each download link stays valid for **24 hours**, then the file is automatically deleted. Every output record includes `expiresAt` (exact expiry timestamp), `deleteAfter` (`24h`) and `retentionHours` so you always know when a link will stop working. Download or copy your files within 24h. ### 🔎 Keywords youtube to mp3, youtube mp3 downloader, youtube mp3 converter, download youtube audio, yt to mp3, youtube audio downloader, convert youtube to mp3, youtube music downloader, mp3 from youtube, youtube audio extractor, bulk youtube to mp3 # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): YouTube video URLs to convert to MP3. You can also pass channel/profile URLs (incl. the /shorts tab) and YouTube search-result URLs; each is expanded automatically. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of tracks to convert in one run. A run lasts at most ~10 minutes. ## `searchTerms` (type: `array`): Plain YouTube search queries (e.g. "best places of england"). Matching videos are processed alongside any links above. For Shorts, only Shorts among the results are kept. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw" } ], "maxItems": 20, "searchTerms": [] } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): All scraped items as structured JSON. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw" } ], "maxItems": 20, "searchTerms": [] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("myagizm/youtube-mp3-downloader").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
