YouTube video streams
Returns the available stream formats and playback links for one YouTube video, from its 11-character video ID. Useful when you need to know which resolutions and audio formats a video offers.
What you get
- Format ID for each stream
- Resolution, codec and container
- Audio or video type of each stream
- File size and bitrate, when available
- Playback link for each stream
- Optional check result showing whether each link responds
What it can do
- List every available format for a video
- Request only specific formats, 1 to 4 at a time
- Optionally verify each link by reading its first 1 KiB
Limits
- Each call returns one video, so there is no paging
- Requires an HTTP connection endpoint with a fixed public exit and explicit port; returned links are tied to it
- Verification reads at most 1 KiB per stream, not the full file
- Only publicly visible data
