.MP3 Audio

Initialize a Download

Initializes the audio download of a YouTube video, using the video ID.

The response of this request would be a video download resource, with an ID that can be used in the Get Download method, to retrieve the actual file URL for download.

After the video download is created, a background job will start processing the request and fetch the audio file from YouTube servers. This process could be fast for short videos, but could take up to 3 minutes for long videos.

The MP3 file will be available for 24 hours to download, once the process has been completed, then it will be deleted from our servers.
