YT DOW API

Turn a YouTube link into an audio or video file, over HTTP.

One endpoint, one API key. Send a URL or video ID, choose audio or video, and get the file back in the response.

How it works

  1. 01

    Get an API key

    Message the Telegram bot to generate a key for your account. Keys are free and issued instantly.

  2. 02

    Call the endpoint

    Send a GET or POST request to /download with a YouTube URL, a type, and your key.

  3. 03

    Get the file

    The response is the audio or video file itself — no polling, no job IDs to check.

Endpoints

Everything the public API exposes. Full parameters and examples are in the docs.

GET /download Download audio or video from a YouTube URL or video ID POST /download Same as above, with parameters sent as a JSON body GET /stream/{video_id} Download by a bare YouTube video ID in the path GET /autoplay Get the next related tracks for a video ID, no daily limit GET /health Check whether the API is up

Authentication

Every download request needs an API key, passed as a normal request parameter — no special headers.
