signature issue when I want to get a direct URL from YouTube via PHP
This is my solution based on the latest Youtube Website Update (2019).
<?php function YT_IN_DX($url){ $cookie_file_path = "cookies.txt"; $agent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0"; $ch = curl_init(); $headers[] = "Connection: Keep-Alive"; curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie_file_path); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie_file_path); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); $res = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); return $res; } function YT_V_INFO($v){ $url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$v"; $html=YT_IN_DX($url); $video_links=Explode_Content('ytplayer.config = ', ';ytplayer.load', $html); $jsondownload1=json_decode($video_links, true); $json_str=$jsondownload1["args"]["player_response"]; $jsn_str=str_replace("\u0026","&",$json_str); $streamin_data_json=json_decode($jsn_str, true); $videolink=$streamin_data_json["streamingData"]["formats"][0]["url"]; return $videolink; } function Explode_Content($first, $last, $string){ $exp=explode($first,$string); $exp=explode($last,$exp[1]); return $exp[0]; } // Include these functions at the top. // Get direct url from Youtube with two lines $videolink = YT_V_INFO("6chhghoMGVQ"); // Add Youtube Video ID echo $videolink; // Your download link?>
For the video quality you can get only the low, for the medium or the HD quality you get the video separated AUDIO-LINK / VIDEO-LINK.
This is another code to get each video qualities from youtube get_video_info
<?phpfunction YT_IN_DX($url){ $cookie_file_path = "cookies.txt"; $agent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0"; $ch = curl_init(); $headers[] = "Connection: Keep-Alive"; curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie_file_path); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie_file_path); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); $res = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); return $res;}function YT_V_INFO($v){ $url = "https://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=$v"; $html = urldecode(YT_IN_DX($url)); $video_links = Explode_Content('playabilityStatus', 'adSafetyReason', $html); $json = str_replace("\u0026", "&", $video_links); $json = '{"playabilityStatus' . $json . 'adSafetyReason":{"isEmbed":true}}'; $array = json_decode($json, true); if (isset($array["playabilityStatus"]["status"]) && $array["playabilityStatus"]["status"] == "UNPLAYABLE") { $data = array("error" => $array["playabilityStatus"]["status"]); }else{ $formats = $array["streamingData"]["formats"]; for ($a = 0; $a <= (count($formats) - 1); $a++){ $data[] = array( "url" => $array["streamingData"]["formats"][$a]["url"], "mimeType" => $array["streamingData"]["formats"][$a]["mimeType"], "quality" => $array["streamingData"]["formats"][$a]["quality"], "qualityLabel" => $array["streamingData"]["formats"][$a]["qualityLabel"], "width" => $array["streamingData"]["formats"][$a]["width"], "height" => $array["streamingData"]["formats"][$a]["height"], "audioQuality" => $array["streamingData"]["formats"][$a]["audioQuality"], "approxDurationMs" => $array["streamingData"]["formats"][0]["approxDurationMs"] ); } } return $data;}function Explode_Content($first, $last, $string){ $exp = explode($first, $string); $exp = explode($last, $exp[1]); return $exp[0];}$videoinfo = YT_V_INFO("6chhghoMGVQ");// $videoinfo=YT_V_INFO("sJsoyuQAepQ");print_r($videoinfo);?>
With this method you can't get some videos ID data, if not allowed by owner.this is two examples :
$videoinfo = YT_V_INFO("6chhghoMGVQ");
Output :

This is another video ID not allowed by his owner.
$videoinfo=YT_V_INFO("sJsoyuQAepQ");
Output :
Array ( [error] => UNPLAYABLE )
