I'm working on a minimum viable product (MVP) that requires a reliable but affordable YouTube MP3 download API. My goal is to process around 100-200 videos each day, but I'm facing a challenge since I plan to deploy this on a VPS and I've heard yt-dlp isn't a workable option for that setup. I would really appreciate any suggestions or recommendations if anyone knows of a suitable solution!

You might want to check out this Python script I found that downloads YouTube videos: https://www.reddit.com/r/opensource/comments/1ia4rib/i_built_a_python_script_to_download_any_youtube/. Just a heads-up, though—you'll probably need proxies to make it work smoothly.
I have used YoutubeDL for similar tasks. It worked for my project, so it might suit your needs as well!
Great, I’ll give that a try!
Why do you think yt-dlp won't work for your VPS? If it has issues, other tools might too. It’d help to know the specifics before suggesting alternatives.
I’m curious about this too! If yt-dlp is off the table, understanding the problem is key to finding a good workaround.
Honestly, yt-dlp is one of the best options, but I’ve heard YouTube blocks many requests, which could be your issue.
Thanks for the link! I’ll take a look at it.
