You downloaded the audio of the YouTube video.īy default the audio file will be saved in the name of the video title with selected extension in the same directory where your python script resides.įinal Python file from pytube import YouTube > audio.download( 'path_to_save_the_file') 'current_working_directory/video_title.mp4' > audio = selected_(only_audio= True, file_extension= 'mp4') > audio.download() > audio = selected_(only_audio= True, file_extension= 'mp4').first() > print(selected_(only_audio= True, file_extension= 'mp4')) It can be done by just passing the file_extension parameter to the filter() method. In this article we are going to download mp4 format. You can download any type of audio from the list. The audio streams can be filtered from the streams like shown in the below code block. For now we are only focusing on audio streams. ' selected_video.streams' will return list of available video and audio streams. Installed! Now we can move forward to the coding part. Pytube can be installed by executing the following command on your terminal pip install pytube 3 Easily Register on_download_progress & on_download_complete callbacks.Support for downloading complete playlist.

But I ended up with the applications filled with annoying ads. I searched for applications which can do it for me.

One day I wanted to download just the audio of a YouTube video. In this article, we will see the implementation of audio extraction from YouTube video in Python.
