We are directly downloading the audio stream from youtube's undocumented API.
We are using youtubei.js to do that, the code can be found here:

Thanks for you reply, actually i am using youtubei API for my music app on android platform on the flutter framework, but right now what i am stuck on is to find an efficient and faster way to decipher the youtube audio stream urls, i have the way to get the stream urls, but they are all ciphered, and the direct libraries to get the deciphered url in flutter are very slow and take about 3-4 seconds to fetch which is not ideal at all, so can you please suggest some way to integrate it with the android app, Thank you in advance

if you only care about android, and don't want a cross-platform solution, you can use https://gitlab.com/toastbits/ytm-kt

Thanks again for responding, i am building android app on flutter using dart, however the dart packages on pub.dev are not helping and the only only one that provides the streaming url has a huge latency which i can't use, so basically i am looking for a solution for this flutter application. My main query is to get the direct decipher url of the songs, because i already get the cipher urls from the youtubei/v1 api
