Could you build this?

Partial A web UI to accept links and return audio downloads is simple, but reliably extracting audio from YouTube requires maintaining headless worker infrastructure capable of constantly circumventing YouTube's anti-bot botguard and cipher challenges.

What it would actually take: The architecture requires worker queues (Celery/BullMQ) running yt-dlp or custom scrapers with rotating residential proxy pools, dynamic JavaScript challenge solvers, and ffmpeg conversion pipelines. Maintaining uptime requires dedicated ongoing reverse-engineering of YouTube client signature updates and signature extraction scripts.
