So after all the research, I have done, I found a better solution and implemented and hosted it on Heroku...

This is really good, great work! Is it, by chance, open source? I may be able to add if the video has audio or not. I'd have to look at some old code of mine and see...

Edit: nevermind, seems like you got that already implemented. Might I suggest the "format" be an array just to make things easier?

Thanks! I have given the source code just below the title.

Cool man! Big ups for making this.

@Maadhav
I just tried with the package you built.

$yt = new YouTubeDownloader();

$links = $yt->getDownloadLinks("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJzCYSdrHMI");

var_dump($links); exit;

I am getting array(0) {} as a result.

How can I get working url with above url ?

does this still work?

I love u <3 <3 u saved my life <3 its working

Great work man.. hopefully this remains working for a longer time.

I found an error when running on Repl.it:
[Tue Dec 15 22:14:00 2020] PHP Notice: Undefined index: url_encoded_fmt_stream_map in /home/runner/FreeYoutube/index.php on line 66 [Tue Dec 15 22:14:00 2020] PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /home/runner/FreeYoutube/index.php on line 102

@jazzy8 Can u send the repl.it public URL for the project u are trying to run?

I created a Javascript variant for anyone not wanting to rely on calling an external API, https://gist.github.com/JMV2112/f131f6d7c7782eb6e54c72f4da735ec0

this doesnt work

This no longer works 😞
