sdk - Can we play only audio using youtube api for iPhone

Question

In my project i have to use youtube api and play only audio of the video. We must not show the youtube player. Is it possible to play only audio without showing video using youtube api?

Answer 1

Extraction may be the incorrect implied word here. From what I understand, is user133611 wants to have an audio only stream from YouTube. Unfortunately, YouTube directly forbids it. Here is a quote from Kuan Yong from the YouTube API team:

Your API Client will not, and You will not encourage or create functionality for Your users or other third parties to:

"separate, isolate, or modify the audio or video components of any YouTube audiovisual content made available through the YouTube API"
