YouTube Download API for product teams
Create download jobs, poll progress, and return the outputs your downloader product needs without building extraction infrastructure yourself.
Use-case path
Built around download jobs
Use this page when you need one API surface for YouTube video download, audio extraction, subtitles, transcripts, thumbnails, and metadata.
Download and progress requests
Create a YouTube download job, then poll the result
Start with a concrete REST request that sends the YouTube URL, requested output format, and API key. The response returns a job id you can pass to the progress endpoint until the download URL is ready.
Use the pricing page before signup to estimate cost by format, volume, and longer YouTube video duration. Open the API docs when you need parameter details for output format, metadata, and progress polling.

FAQ
YouTube Download API FAQ
What can the YouTube Download API return?
The API can create download jobs for supported YouTube URLs and return video, audio, subtitles, transcripts, thumbnails, metadata, and progress states depending on the requested output.
Is this different from the Widget API and templates?
Yes. The REST API is the primary product for custom workflows, while Widget API, Card API, Button API, and templates are faster-launch resources with less UI and flow control.
