@surajpendhare

how can i use this code in nodejs

I think it's better to use youtube-dl on NodeJS.

Examples

const { getInfo } = require('ytdl-getinfo')
const youtube_video_id = "XxEhuSJF780"; // you can use full url too, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxEhuSJF780

Method 1

getInfo( youtube_video_id ).then(info => {
    // info.items[0] should contain the output of youtube-dl --dump-json
    console.log( info.items[0] )
});

Method 2

getInfo( youtube_video_id, ['--dump-json'] ).then(info => {
    console.log( info.items[0] )
});

References:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/ytdl-getinfo

thenandkishorkumawat · 2021-07-24T04:46:22Z

old ytInfoUrl += "www.youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=" + videoID + "&eurl="
+ URLEncoder.encode("https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/" + videoID, "UTF-8")
+"&html5=1&c=TVHTML5&cver=6.20180913";

and i update new ytInfoUrl

            ytInfoUrl += "www.youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=" + videoID + "&eurl="
            + URLEncoder.encode("https://www.youtube.com/youtubei/v1/player?key=AIzaSyAO_FJ2SlqU8Q4STEHLGCilw_Y9_11qcW8/" + videoID, "UTF-8")
            +"&html5=1&c=TVHTML5&cver=6.20180913";

but still video not playing and showing the W/System.err: java.io.FileNotFoundException Error

Your solution is working for me.
But, How can i parse response in node js.

const request = require('request');
const youtube_video_id = 'XxEhuSJF780'; // https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxEhuSJF780


var options = {
    method: 'POST',
