Is there a Youtube API that gives only audio? [closed]

Answer 1

YES YOU CAN

Yes, it is certainly possible, here is an API for that:

https://market.mashape.com/ehmo/savedeo

While it is against YouTube Terms of Service, it is technically possible to hack your way to the audio-only download link, and that's how the API's above work.

The is how I imagine the SaveDeo API does its magic: Download ONLY audio from a youtube video

This is what the guy at SaveDeo told me:

Youtube has audio only files. Savedeo doesn't do anything beyond providing you with the link. How we're doing this is the reason why are you using savedeo, isn't it.

Answer 2

Regarding the Terms of Service of the YouTube API

https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms/developer-policies

YOU CAN'T :

separate, isolate, or modify the audio or video components of any YouTube audiovisual content made available through the YouTube API;

promote separately the audio or video components of any YouTube audiovisual content made available through the YouTube API;

Answer 3

I have developed YouTuber little software to extract mp3 from YouTube.

You can clone source code https://github.com/maythamfahmi/YouTuber

Or just use the release version in (cmd) command line for windows https://github.com/maythamfahmi/YouTuber/releases.

disclaimer: the added github is to my personal repo

Answer 4

using loadercdn you can apply for your own API to do the download.

Answer 5

Update, because I think no one thought it what that easy. Just read it, if you want to use it for private usage (you know, youtube terms and stuff like that).

After some research work with different APIs and libraries and researching source code, I just tried it by myself and wolla.

Just saying, audio only links are in the page source of each video.

You just have to know what you are looking for ;)

Open a youtube video, view page source and search for "mime%3Daudio". There should be 5 matches, full url for example:

"https%3A%2F%2Fr2---sn-35cxanpbo5a-8pxl.googlevideo.com%2Fvideoplayback%3Fsource%3Dyoutube%26signature%3D30EC556F55533FBFD9003767730D10556681F33A.B12E021CA54CCB9E225F58A4430E9BB528081FB5%26requiressl%3Dyes%26expire%3D1527306011%26clen%3D3064602%26initcwndbps%3D1152500%26ipbits%3D0%26mime%3Daudio%252Fmp4%26dur%3D192.911%26fvip%3D5%26lmt%3D1524946334873350%26key%3Dyt6%26sparams%3Dclen%252Cdur%252Cei%252Cgir%252Cid%252Cinitcwndbps%252Cip%252Cipbits%252Citag%252Ckeepalive%252Clmt%252Cmime%252Cmm%252Cmn%252Cms%252Cmv%252Cpl%252Crequiressl%252Csource%252Cexpire%26itag%3D140%26gir%3Dyes%26ip%3D81.217.53.239%26id%3Do-ALNxMeQYw4LLc1FAjxt4h795wKTdqJnzc_SBgzEJVBxR%26c%3DWEB%26keepalive%3Dyes%26mm%3D31%252C29%26mn%3Dsn-35cxanpbo5a-8pxl%252Csn-2gb7sn7r%26ei%3Du4IIW7DfC46rgAfrrpnICw%26ms%3Dau%252Crdu%26mt%3D1527284230%26pl%3D16%26mv%3Dm"

Just decode URL and you got what you want.
