Get API key

Get an API key

Use the dashboard to create and manage an API key, inspect usage, add wallet balance, and continue existing account workflows.

First request

GET

Replace VIDEO_ID and YOUR_API_KEY, run the request, then pass the returned id to /ajax/progress.php. At progress 1000, use download_url only when success is 1 or true; otherwise stop and show the error. 

curl --get "https://p.savenow.to/ajax/download.php" \
  --data-urlencode "url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID" \
  --data "format=mp3" \
  --data "apikey=YOUR_API_KEY"

Track progress

Poll /ajax/progress.php with the returned id. Progress below 1000 is pending regardless of success. At 1000, use download_url only when success is 1 or true and the URL is non-empty; otherwise stop and surface text or message, with a generic failure message if neither is present. Production jobs consume wallet balance according to pricing.

From API key to file

Create a key, send a request, poll progress, and review usage through one predictable workflow.

1

Create or open an API key

Sign in to the dashboard, copy the key, and keep billing tied to the same account.

2

Send the request

Use the documented REST or legacy-compatible endpoint with url, format, and the API key parameter.

3

Poll progress or consume the URL

Use progress_url or /ajax/progress.php. Below progress 1000 keep polling; at 1000 use download_url only when success is 1 or true, otherwise stop and show the error.

4

Review usage and balance

Track recent requests, coupon credits, top-ups, and payment callbacks from the dashboard.

Common questions

Where do examples run?

Use p.savenow.to for public API examples unless your dashboard shows a custom account hostname.

How do I add credit?

Open the dashboard, create a top-up payment, or redeem a coupon. Balance changes are shown in the account history.

Are old endpoints still supported?

Yes. The .php compatibility endpoints remain active for existing integrations and embedded clients.
