ytm-proxy

Simple proxy server to retrieve music data anonymously from YouTube & YouTube Music. Written in Go, blazingly fast & simple.

Workings

It's quite simple, actually. It forwards request body from your request (only for POST) and all headers to https://music.youtube.com or https://www.youtube.com, depending on what you select in the URL path (/music/* is for YouTube Music & /youtube/* is for YouTube). This proxy server also decompresses gzipped response, so that you don't have to worry about decoding/decompressing anything on client-side.

Example

POST /music/youtubei/v1/browse?key=AIzaSyAO_FJ2SlqU8Q4STEHLGCilw_Y9_11qcW8
