FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package laravel-youtube-api
Laravel Youtube API
This package provides a simple youtube api for your Laravel application. It is based on my non-laravel package Youtube API.
Installation

-

-
This package uses the public disk of Laravel. Run this command to create a symbolic link to the public folder so that converted Youtube downloads are accessible:
- Execute package migrations
Software
Depending on what driver you use - on the server where your laravel app is located, you'll need to install some packages.
- Install ffmpeg (+ libmp3lame - see this wiki for tutorial)
- install youtube-dl
API Usage
This package adds 3 api routes. The route prefix, /ytconverter/ in this case, is configurable.
- POST|GET /ytconverter/convert
- DELETE /ytconverter/{id}
- GET /ytconverter/search
Check the wiki page of this repository for more information about the routes.
To enable the search endpoint you need to acquire a Google API key on the Google Developer Console for the API "Youtube Data API v3". Use this key in the environment variable GOOGLE_API_KEY
Configuration
Driver
Downloading Youtube video's is not simple these days. To cover this, you can choose how you want to download the video's by setting the driver in the configuration.
Available drivers:
- local
The default driver. Requires ffmpeg and yt-dlp or youtube-dl to be installed on the server and it'll download files to the server. Metadata comes from yt-dlp.
- cobalt
Requires a self hosted Cobalt (API) instance. It doesn't require any software to be installed on the server and it doesn't download files to the server.
If GOOGLE_API_KEY is set, it'll use the Youtube Data API to get metadata, otherwise it'll download the video to get the metadata and thus use storage space instead.
API authorization
If needed, you can protect the API routes with an authentication guard by setting auth in the configuration.
Example:
API rate limiting
If needed, you can limit API calls by editing the config setting ratelimiter. See Laravel docs for more information or examples.
