Tools → YouTube: Download
AI-generatedSummary
Download YouTube videos or audio by specifying a YouTube URL or video ID, returning a direct download URL in the chosen format and quality, or list available formats for a given video.
Inputs
- URL (required) — YouTube video URL or video ID to identify the media to download or query.
- Action (required) — Determines whether to 'download' and get a download URL or retrieve 'formats' listing available download formats.
- Format — Choose between 'Video' or 'Audio' format for download; applicable only when Action is 'download'.
- Quality — Select desired quality 'HD' or 'SD' for the download; used only when Action is 'download'.
- Format ID — Optionally specify a specific format ID from the formats list to download that exact format.
Output shape
a single JSON object containing either a list of available formats or a download URL depending on the selected action
When 'Action' is 'formats', the node outputs a list of available download formats for the given video; when 'download', it outputs a direct URL to download the requested video or audio format and quality. Optional request options allow configuring batch size, proxy, timeout, and SSL handling but do not affect output structure.
Examples
Example 1: Download an HD video of a YouTube video.
Set 'URL' to the target YouTube video, select 'Action' as 'Download', 'Format' as 'Video', and 'Quality' as 'HD'. Output will be a direct download URL for the HD video.
Example 2: List available download formats for a YouTube video.
Set 'URL' to the target YouTube video and 'Action' to 'Formats'. The node outputs a structured list of all formats in which the video can be downloaded.
