Downloading YouTube files is ridiculously simple.

There you have all stream files in a nice json format, which means opus and m4a for audio files.

I have a python project which is very quick to gather metadata, because I wanted to have a responsive YouTube app without using the browser. Had no time for it recently, though.



Thanks this is actually really useful. Never knew about it
