3	YouTube data extraction via API and high-bandwidth proxies for video/audio downloading.
4
5	## Two Approaches
6
7	\| Method \| Use Case \|
8	\|--------\|----------\|
9	\| Video Data API \| Metadata, subtitles, search results (structured data) \|
10	\| High-Bandwidth Proxies \| Video/audio downloads with yt-dlp \|
11
12	---
13
14	## Video Data API
15
16	Uses the same endpoint as Web Scraper API with YouTube-specific sources.
17
18	### Endpoint
19
20	```
21	POST https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries # immediate metadata/search/subtitle responses
22	POST https://data.oxylabs.io/v1/queries # Push-Pull downloads, callbacks, storage
23	Content-Type: application/json
24	```
25
26	### Authentication
27
28	```bash
29	curl -u "$OXY_WSA_USERNAME:$OXY_WSA_PASSWORD" ...
30	```
31
32	### Available Sources
33
34	\| Source \| Description \|
35	\|--------\|-------------\|
36	\| `youtube_search` \| Search results up to 20 items (videos, channels, playlists) \|
37	\| `youtube_search_max` \| Search results up to 700 items \|
38	\| `youtube_metadata` \| Video metadata (title, views, likes, description) \|
39	\| `youtube_subtitles` \| Closed captions/subtitles \|
40	\| `youtube_channel` \| Channel data and video lists \|
41	\| `youtube_autocomplete` \| Keyword suggestions \|
42	\| `youtube_video_trainability` \| AI training permission status \|
43	\| `youtube_download` \| Push-Pull video/audio download to cloud storage \|
44
45	### Source Parameters
46
47	\| Source \| Required \| Common optional parameters \|
48	\|--------\|----------\|----------------------------\|
49	\| `youtube_search`, `youtube_search_max` \| `query` \| `upload_date`, `type`, `duration`, `sort_by`, `360`, `3d`, `4k`, `creative_commons`, `hd`, `hdr`, `live`, `location`, `purchased`, `subtitles`, `vr180` \|
50	\| `youtube_metadata` \| `query`, `parse: true` \| `callback_url`; do not use `render` \|
51	\| `youtube_channel` \| `channel_handle`, `parse: true` \| `limit`, `callback_url` \|
52	\| `youtube_subtitles` \| `query`, `context.language_code` \| `context.subtitle_origin`: `auto_generated` or `uploader_provided`; `callback_url` \|
53	\| `youtube_autocomplete` \| `query` \| `location` country code, `language`, `callback_url` \|
54	\| `youtube_video_trainability` \| `video_id` \| `callback_url` \|
55	\| `youtube_download` \| `query`, `storage_type`, `storage_url` \| `callback_url`, `context.download_type`, `context.video_quality`, `context.start_at`, `context.end_at` \|
56
57	For `youtube_download`, use Push-Pull and cloud storage. `storage_type` is `gcs`, `s3`, or `s3_compatible`; `download_type` is `audio`, `video`, or `audio_video`; `video_quality` is `best`, `worst`, or `144`, `360`, `480`, `720`, `1080`, `1440`, `2160`, `4320`.
58
59	Downloads default to 720p when available and are limited to 1 hour. `start_at`/`end_at` use `hh:mm:ss`; `end_at` must be later than `start_at`. For batch downloads, use `/v1/queries/batch` with a `query` array only; keep all other parameters singular.
60
61	### Quick Start
62
63	Video metadata:
64	```bash
65	curl -X POST 'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries' \
66	-u "$OXY_WSA_USERNAME:$OXY_WSA_PASSWORD" \
67	-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
68	-d '{
69	"source": "youtube_metadata",
70	"query": "dQw4w9WgXcQ",
71	"parse": true
72	}'
73	```
74
75	YouTube search:
76	```bash
77	curl -X POST 'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries' \
78	-u "$OXY_WSA_USERNAME:$OXY_WSA_PASSWORD" \
79	-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
80	-d '{
81	"source": "youtube_search",
82	"query": "python tutorial"
83	}'
84	```
85
86	Channel data:
87	```bash
88	curl -X POST 'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries' \
89	-u "$OXY_WSA_USERNAME:$OXY_WSA_PASSWORD" \
90	-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
91	-d '{
92	"source": "youtube_channel",
93	"channel_handle": "@channelhandle",
94	"parse": true,
95	"limit": 10
96	}'
97	```
98

100
101	## High-Bandwidth Proxies (Video Downloads)
102
103	For actual video/audio file downloads using yt-dlp.
104
105	### Setup
106
107	Contact Oxylabs sales team to get a dedicated high-bandwidth endpoint.
108
109	Default configuration:
110	- Port: `60000`
111	- Endpoint: Provided after purchase
112
113	Use `OXY_HB_ENDPOINT`; if absent, check `OXYLABS_HB_ENDPOINT`.
114
115	### Connection Test
116
117	```bash
118	curl -x "http://USERNAME-test:PASSWORD@YOUR_ENDPOINT:60000" \
119	"https://ip.oxylabs.io/location"
120	```
121
122	### yt-dlp Integration
123
124	With session rotation (different IP per download):
125	```bash
126	yt-dlp --proxy "http://USERNAME-Random1Session2ID:PASSWORD@YOUR_ENDPOINT:60000" \
127	"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"
128	```
129
130	Change the session ID for each download to get a fresh IP.
131
132	### Python with yt-dlp
133
134	```python
135	import yt_dlp
136	import os
137	import uuid
138
139	username = os.environ["OXY_WSA_USERNAME"]
140	password = os.environ["OXY_WSA_PASSWORD"]
141	endpoint = os.environ["OXY_HB_ENDPOINT"] # Your dedicated endpoint
142
143	# Random session for unique IP
144	session_id =
