A YouTube Shorts download API turns a /shorts/ URL into a file job. On Zyla API Hub that path is the Downloader on the YouTube Premium Download API. Official example: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/f1HbBexbLtc with format=720.
The catalog is more than 10,000 public APIs. Subscribe per listing. No Free Plan. Your first Hub API includes a 7-day free trial (up to 50 requests). Poll until progress is 1000 — not 100. Signed links expire in about two hours. Live streams are not supported. Info (title/duration) is a sibling path.
Request: official Shorts URL
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
"https://zylalabs.com/api/13563/youtube-premium-download-api/30203/downloader?url=https://www.youtube.com/shorts/f1HbBexbLtc&format=720"The response includes a job id, thumbnail, and progress_url. Poll every 3–5 seconds until progress is 1000, then use download_url. Docs do not publish a finished Shorts dump — copy the curl; do not invent those fields.
