How to download URL using youtube_explode_dart package in 2023?

Question

I want to download videos using audioOnly from youtube using URL, I am using youtube_explode_dart for this purpose, but the code method has migrated now, I cant figure out despite checking documentation of package, that how to download audio only.

my code:

Future<String> getDownloadUrl(String videoId) async {
var youtube = YoutubeExplode();
var video = await youtube.videos.get(videoId);
return youtube.streamsClient.getAudioOnly().first.url;

}

You are doing it right but with old methods, update your code to the following mentioned, also check latest youtube_explode_dart package's documentation to understand better.

Future<String> getDownloadUrl(String videoId) async {
var youtube = YoutubeExplode();
var video = await youtube.videos.get(videoId);

// Get the stream manifest for the video
var streamManifest = await youtube.videos.streamsClient.getManifest(videoId);

// Get the audio-only streams from the manifest
var audioOnlyStreams = streamManifest.audioOnly;

// Get the highest quality audio-only stream
var audioStream = audioOnlyStreams.withHighestBitrate();

// Return the URL of the audio stream
return audioStream.url.toString();


}
