Please help me to solve it. thanks

Answer 1

Since the latest response is out of date with the current results from youtube, I'd like to post an update. For anyone using the above code url_encoded_fmt_stream_map throws errors because YouTube changed the value of that parameter to player_response.

The code below will output a JSON object containing the YouTube video source urls.

<?php
/*
YouTubeLinkSourcer
by digitallysavvy
based on code by [egy.js](https://www.instagram.com/egy.js/);
v0.1
*/
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
header('Content-Type: application/json');


function get_error($ErrorExaction){
    $myObj = new stdClass();
    $myObj->error = true;
    $myObj->msg = $ErrorExaction;

    $myJSON = json_encode($myObj,JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
    echo $myJSON;
    exit;
}

// pass youtube url via param
if(isset($_GET['ytURL']) && $_GET['ytURL'] != "") {
    // parse the url param to split the string
    parse_str( parse_url( $_GET['ytURL'], PHP_URL_QUERY ), $vars );
    $id = $vars['v']; // get the video id from the v query param 
    $dt = file_get_contents("https://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=$id&el=embedded&ps=default&eurl=&gl=US&hl=en");
    
    if (strpos($dt, 'status=fail') !== false) {

        $x=explode("&",$dt);
        $t=array(); $g=array(); $h=array();

        foreach($x as $r){
            $c=explode("=",$r);
            $n=$c[0]; $v=$c[1];
            $y=urldecode($v);
            $t[$n]=$v;
        }

        $x=explode("&",$dt);
        foreach($x as $r){
            $c=explode("=",$r);
            $n=$c[0]; $v=$c[1];
            $h[$n]=urldecode($v);
        }
        $g[]=$h;
        $g[0]['error'] = true;
        echo json_encode($g,JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

    } else {
        // decode the response
        $x=explode("&",$dt);
        $t=array(); $g=array(); $h=array();

        foreach($x as $r){
            $c=explode("=",$r);
            $n=$c[0]; $v=$c[1];
            $y=urldecode($v);
            $t[$n]=$v;
        }
        // get the "player_response" field and parse it as JSON
        $player_response = json_decode(urldecode($t['player_response']), true);
        
        // if response is missing streaming data - show an error and exit
        if(!array_key_exists("streamingData",$player_response)){ 
          get_error('ops! this video has something wrong! :( '); 
        }
        // get reference to the streaming data object
        $streams = $player_response["streamingData"]; 
        // loop through the list and print out all formats
        echo "{ \"formats\": [";
        foreach ($streams["formats"] as $formats) {
          echo "{ \"". $formats["qualityLabel"] ."\": \"". $formats["url"] ."\" },";
        }
        echo "], \"adaptiveFormats\": [";
        foreach ($streams["adaptiveFormats"] as $adaptiveFormats) {
            if(array_key_exists("qualityLabel",$adaptiveFormats)){ 
                echo "{ \"". $adaptiveFormats["qualityLabel"] ."\": \"". $adaptiveFormats["url"] ."\" },";
            } else {
                break; // end the loop
            }
        }
        echo "]}";
    }
} else {
     get_error("Ops, there is no youtube link!");
}

call this script using:

/YouTubeSourcer.php?ytURL=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMAzchVWTis

Try this to get Youtube Video source from only youtube video id

    // Get Youtube Source
function getYoutubeVideoSource1($id = 'jNQXAC9IVRw'){
    parse_str(file_get_contents("http://youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=".$id),$info);
    $streams = $info['url_encoded_fmt_stream_map'];
    $streams = explode(',',$streams);
    //dd($streams);
    // store value in array
    $video_stream = array();
    foreach ($streams as $stream){
        parse_str($stream,$data);
        $data = array(
            'type' => $data['type'],
            'quality' => $data['quality'],
            'url' => $data['url'],
        );
        $video_stream[] = (object) $data;
    }
    print_r($video_stream);

    //return $video_stream;
}

Here you will get an array of video steam.

   array:4 [▼
  0 => {#216 ▼
    +"type": "video/webm; codecs="vp8.0, vorbis""
    +"quality": "medium"
    +"url": "https://r3---sn-ugp5obax-q5je.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?ipbits=0&ei=qC_9Wa3HD9rcogOXgZuAAw&lmt=1380226535526270&expire=1509786632&sparams=clen%2Cdur%2Cei%2C ▶"
  }
  1 => {#211 ▶}
  2 => {#212 ▶}
  3 => {#218 ▶}
]

Now you can get video link like this

// Get Youtube Batch Download link
function youtubeBatchDownloadLink($videoId, $format){
    $video_source = getYoutubeVideoSource ($videoId);
    $url = $video_source[$format]->url;
    print_r($url);
    //return $url;
}

Hope this will help you
