Convert any YouTube video to a downloadable MP3 file at 128, 192, or 320 kbps. Paste up to 10 URLs per run and grab each MP3 straight from your run's storage.

What you get

  • One MP3 file per video, stored in the run's Key-value store with a direct download URL
  • Per-video metadata in the dataset: videoId, title, durationSeconds, uploader, fileUrl, fileSizeBytes
  • Choice of audio quality: 128 kbps (smaller files), 192 kbps (recommended), or 320 kbps (highest quality)
  • Residential proxy by default for reliable downloads; switch to Auto cascade if you want to try the cheaper paths first
  • Optional duration cap to skip overly long videos automatically

Use cases

  • Save podcasts, interviews, and lectures for offline listening
  • Extract audio from your own uploaded videos for editing or repurposing
  • Archive Creative Commons / public-domain audio collections
  • Build training data sets from openly licensed content
  • Convert music videos you already own the rights to into a portable format

How to use

  1. Paste one or more YouTube URLs into YouTube Video URLs (youtube.com/watch?v=..., youtu.be/..., or youtube.com/shorts/...)
  2. Pick Audio Quality — 192 kbps is a good default
  3. Leave Proxy Mode on Residential (default) — switch to Auto if you want to try cheaper paths first
  4. Optionally lower Max Video Duration (seconds) to skip long videos
  5. Run the actor — MP3 files appear in the Key-value store tab; metadata appears in Dataset

Output format

Each dataset record:

{
"inputUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ",
"videoId": "dQw4w9WgXcQ",
"title": "Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up",
"durationSeconds": 213,
"uploader": "Rick Astley",
"audioQualityKbps": 192,
"fileKey": "Rick_Astley_-_Never_Gonna_Give_You_Up.mp3",
"fileUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/<id>/records/Rick_Astley_-_Never_Gonna_Give_You_Up.mp3",
"fileSizeBytes": 5120432,
"proxyUsed": "none",
"status": "success",
"error": null
}

The fileUrl is a public download link to the MP3 — open it in a browser, share it, or pipe it into another actor.

Notes & limits

  • Up to 10 videos per run. For bulk jobs, schedule multiple runs.
  • Max file size: 500 MB per video. Anything larger is rejected before download.
  • Age-restricted and members-only videos require login and are not supported.
  • Geo-blocked or private videos will fail; try Residential proxy mode if Auto can't get past it.
  • Only download content you have the right to download. Respect copyright and YouTube's Terms of Service.
