Hmm, are you sure that link is correct? In firefox and chromium that gets me about 122K of not-very-easy-to-parse text.

  Yes, it's correct and it should return that. The top-level serialization format is simply a URL query string aka application/x-www-form-urlencoded. No idea why but probably historical reasons.

      In ruby: require 'cgi' require 'json' require 'net/http' res = Net::HTTP.get URI 'https://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=aqz-KE-bpKQ' vars = CGI.parse res json = JSON.parse vars["player_response"].first pp json["streamingData"]["formats"]
