hybrid-ytdl

Hybrid YouTube downloader for Node.js that uses 5 different server APIs to fetch audio and video downloads. Current stable version is 1.2.4. It automatically switches to a backup API if one server fails, supports custom bitrate (128, 192, 320 kbps) and resolution (360p, 720p, 1080p), and allows manual API selection. Differentiates from other YouTube downloaders by relying on external REST APIs rather than scraping YouTube directly, offering multiple fallback endpoints. The package is not actively maintained but still functional.
