Video downloader saves YouTube videos to your own storage. You send a video ID and a storage URL, and Decodo downloads the video and uploads the file to your bucket.

Key features

  • Straight to your storage - files go to Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage or any other S3-compatible storage. Nothing to download yourself.
  • Video, audio or both - pick the media type and the quality, from worst up to 2160.
  • Clips - download only part of a video with a start and end time.
  • Batch - queue up to 100 videos in one request.
  • Long videos - videos of up to 12 hours are supported.

How it works

  1. Get your Video downloader credentials from the dashboard.
  2. Give Decodo write access to a folder in your storage.
  3. Queue a download with the video ID and your storage URL. You get a task ID back.
  4. Check the task status. When it’s done, the file is in your folder as {video_id}_{task_id}.mp4.

How it differs from other Web Data API endpoints

Your Web Data API key doesn’t work with Video downloader. If you don’t see the Video downloader section in your dashboard, contact our sales team.
