Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

@swoojeff/n8n-nodes-ytdlp-audio

n8n community node that downloads the audio track (optionally the full video) from YouTube and other yt-dlp-supported sites, and returns it as binary data on the workflow item.

Prerequisites

The n8n host must have these on PATH:

  • yt-dlp — pip install yt-dlp (or brew install yt-dlp)
  • ffmpeg — required for audio extraction / format conversion

Installation

In n8n: Settings → Community Nodes → Install and enter:

@swoojeff/n8n-nodes-ytdlp-audio

Usage

  1. Add the YouTube Audio (yt-dlp) node.
  2. Set Video URL.
  3. Choose Download Mode (Audio Only default, or Full Video).
  4. For audio, pick Audio Format (mp3 default; opus, m4a, wav, or best for the original stream with no re-encode) and Audio Quality.
  5. The downloaded file is placed on the binary property named in Binary Property (default data). Add a Write Binary File node (or an upload node) downstream to persist it.

Options

  • Cookies From Browser — use local browser cookies for age/region-restricted videos.
  • Proxy, Custom User-Agent.
  • Embed Metadata, Embed Thumbnail.
  • Output Filename Template — a yt-dlp -o template.
