API key signup

Create your Video Download API key

Sign up to generate a dashboard API key, then use the docs and pricing context here to make your first request with the right endpoint, format, and polling flow.

First call preview

Run this request after registration

Masked key
cURL
curl --location "https://p.savenow.to/ajax/download.php?format=mp3&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DK1Pu75yJUOE&add_info=1&apikey=************1234"

The dashboard shows your real API key after signup. The preview keeps the key masked, but the endpoint, parameters, and polling flow match the first request you will run.

p.savenow.to is the default shared API host used in public examples. If your dashboard shows a custom API hostname, use that account-specific host instead.

API key FAQ

Questions before you create the key

How do I get a Video Download API key?

Continue from this page to create your account. After registration, the dashboard generates the API key that belongs to your account and is used for download, subtitle, transcript, and progress requests.

Where do I copy the API key in the dashboard?

Open the dashboard after signup and use the API Key area to copy the generated key. The public page only shows a masked example so your real credential is never exposed before you sign in.

What should my first API request be?

Start with the documented cURL request for GET /ajax/download.php using a video url, format, and your dashboard API key. A working request returns success: true and a job id for progress polling.

How should I check pricing before creating an API key?

Use the pricing calculator to estimate usage by format, volume, and duration. When you continue from pricing to this page, that intent is carried into signup so the first-request context stays intact.

Where are the API docs for using the key?

The API docs show authentication parameters, endpoint examples, progress polling, subtitles and transcripts, and downloadable OpenAPI files for reviewing the request and response schema.
