response.data() returns null about java-youtube-downloader HOT 12 CLOSED

Thank you Mr. Igor and sorry for taking too much of your time. I've learned a lot from this conversation alone. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

from java-youtube-downloader.

before calling response.data() you should check if request was successful -response.ok()
if it returns false you can check what is returned by response.error()

you don't need API KEY, this library works as web scraper

from java-youtube-downloader.

response.ok() returns false and response.error() gives

"java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.alibaba.fastjson2.JSONException: class java.lang.String cannot be converted to class java.lang.String"

from java-youtube-downloader.

class java.lang.String cannot be converted to class java.lang.String
seems very strange, may be you have some issues with java versions?

from java-youtube-downloader.

Which versions should i use? At the same time,
YoutubeVideoExtractor_Tests.java returns "getVideo should be successful for default videos without signature"
YoutubeDownloader_Tests returns: "download subtitles should work" as well as "download video should work"
Maybe its me that do not understand how this work

from java-youtube-downloader.

Java 8+ should works, but I mean maybe you have messed up classpath?
Also provide full stacktrace
response.error().printStackTrace()

check which version of com.alibaba.fastjson do you have in classpath

from java-youtube-downloader.

Yeah, like you pointed before, i had a problem with my classpath and the overall project configuration.
I reset everything and started from scratch, now it works fine.
Thank you for the amazing work.
Just one quick question before i close: if i have the googlevideo.com/videoplayback link from an API call and i just want to use this library for the download part, how do i proceed?

from java-youtube-downloader.

Not familiar with youtube API, what exactly link do you have? If it is direct link to video file you can simply copy code snippet responsible for downloading file.
Or you can manually create Format, fill it with your data, create RequestVideoFileDownload and call Downloader#downloadVideoAsFile

from java-youtube-downloader.

Yeah and that's the question actually, i have not found a way to manually create a Format object with my desired data(url)
protected Format(JSONObject json, boolean isAdaptive, String clientVersion) is the only option i see but can't use.

ex: https://rr2---sn-ap90pquxaxjvh-3bae.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?expire=1657223644&ei=fOXGYq2_KI_XxwKOtIpI&ip=102.223.208.45&id=o-AOBVMm6U9AAvktoluvlYoDLhZN4ZEmuVKzWsA7T-EBdN&itag=22&source=youtube&requiressl=yes&mh=Bi&mm=31%2C29&mn=sn-ap90pquxaxjvh-3bae%2Csn-hc57enee&ms=au%2Crdu&mv=m&mvi=2&pl=24&initcwndbps=131250&vprv=1&mime=video%2Fmp4&cnr=14&ratebypass=yes&dur=101.517&lmt=1647898851406326&mt=1657201771&fvip=5&fexp=24001373%2C24007246&c=ANDROID&txp=6318224&sparams=expire%2Cei%2Cip%2Cid%2Citag%2Csource%2Crequiressl%2Cvprv%2Cmime%2Ccnr%2Cratebypass%2Cdur%2Clmt&sig=AOq0QJ8wRAIgZDLRT2KmeHbfZzJdSLOTRDLmyXf9ZIPajRdCuv31_vACICUliwDqh4N8LSDoIVgamYV2GedBdRoAbDHpbqo0WQSe&lsparams=mh%2Cmm%2Cmn%2Cms%2Cmv%2Cmvi%2Cpl%2Cinitcwndbps&lsig=AG3C_xAwRQIgIL1vA3bSLVi2aUqU9uRE_w1N-IZGrM9zWlLa_l3FQdICIQCoLH7NRFT19BUI7WzryPv1xpCRQxRnvZ3BMPrmgR_LTA%3D%3D

which is basically what i got from it.url() in the code
But assume i got this link from another source, how do i create a Format object with it?

from java-youtube-downloader.

yes, indeed there is no constructor for such case
but you can create JSONObject json and populate it with required fields
