Youtube Video API

#productivity #api #webdev #beginners

I have just published a Youtube Video Downloader API on rapid api

Using this simple and easy to use API you can convert any youtube video to

MP4
MP3
M4A
WebM

In the JSON output you get links to these formats and qualities.

video with audio [3gp, 144p, 360p, 720p]
video without audio [144p, 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p]
audio in the YouTube video [48kbps, 64kbps, 128kbps]

You can use this api anything you want and in any place you want. I have also allowed 1,000 calls free every single month which is great considering you get to convert 1,000 youtube videos in all these formats every single month.

To print the json output in php just use the code below.

<?php

$homepage = "contains_json_output";
$json = json_decode($homepage);
echo 'url - '.$json->url.'<br>';
echo 'title - '.$json->title.'<br>';
echo 'thumbnail - '.$json->thumbnail.'<br>';
echo 'duration - '.$json->duration.'<br>';
echo 'source - '.$json->source.'<br>';


$length = 22;
for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
    echo '<br><br>--------<br><br>';
echo 'url - <a href="'.$json->medias[$i]->url.'">'.$json->medias[$i]->extension.'</a><br>';
echo 'quality - '.$json->medias[$i]->quality.'<br>';
echo 'extension - '.$json->medias[$i]->extension.'<br>';
echo 'size - '.$json->medias[$i]->size.'<br>';
echo 'formattedSize - '.$json->medias[$i]->formattedSize.'<br>';
$bool = $json->medias[$i]->videoAvailable;
echo 'videoAvailable - '.(boolval($bool) ? 'true' : 'false').'<br>';
echo 'audioAvailable - '.(boolval($json->medias[$i]->audioAvailable) ? 'true' : 'false').'<br>';
echo 'chunked - '.(boolval($json->medias[$i]->chunked) ? 'true' : 'false').'<br>';
echo 'cached - '.(boolval($json->medias[$i]->cached) ? 'true' : 'false').'<br>';

echo '<br><br>--------<br><br>';
}
