The following script will use YoutubeinMP3.com’s API to download the audio from most YouTube Videos. All you have to edit is the $dest variable and insert the directory that you want your mp3’s to go.
Note: This does not work with all videos! I have contacted YoutubeinMP3.com to figure out why certain videos do not work.
try {
$ytstring = Read-host "Please insert the Youtube Video ID"
$json = Invoke-WebRequest "http://www.youtubeinmp3.com/fetch/?format=JSON&video=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=$ytstring"
$dlurl = $json | ConvertFrom-Json | Select -Property link | Format-Table -HideTableHeaders | out-file url.txt
$songtitle = $json | ConvertFrom-Json | Select -Property title | Format-Table -HideTableHeaders | out-file title.txt
$filename = get-content title.txt
$dest = "C:\Users\jespitia\Documents\Downloads\'$filename'.mp3"
$url = get-content url.txt
$uri = "$url"
Invoke-Webrequest -Uri $uri -OutFile "$dest"
}
catch {
write-host Please try another Video -ForegroundColor Red
}

I recently have been messing around with Powershell and during my scripting tests, I came across a cmdlet called Invoke-WebRequest. It is an extremely powerful cmdlet that can grab data from a web page or web service. As I started to read about it, I decided that it would be neat to grab XML data from a website and display it in Powershell. During my search for an api, I came across http://www.omdbapi.com/, which is a free service that contains movie information.
