Refactored backend to extract actual YouTube title and thumbnail from HTML, removing simulated metadata fields (description, author, duration, views, upload date, tags). Simplified UI to display only title and thumbnail, and enhanced visuals with animated musical notes background. Removed related formatting and display logic for unused metadata.
TuneRipper API
Quick Start
Starting the API
Option 1: Using the start script (Windows)
cd TuneRipper.Api
start-api.bat
Option 2: Using the start script (Linux/Mac)
cd TuneRipper.Api
chmod +x start-api.sh
./start-api.sh
Option 3: Manual start
cd TuneRipper.Api
dotnet run
API Endpoints
Once running, the API will be available at:
- HTTPS: https://localhost:7160
- HTTP: http://localhost:5112
Testing the API
- Start the API using one of the methods above
- Open the HTTP test file:
TuneRipper.Api/api-tests.http - Run the connectivity tests first to verify the API is responding
- Use the main API tests once connectivity is confirmed
Troubleshooting
"This localhost page can't be found" errors:
-
Check if API is running:
- Look for console output showing "Now listening on: https://localhost:7160"
- If not running, start it using the methods above
-
Try HTTP instead of HTTPS:
- Use
http://localhost:5112instead ofhttps://localhost:7160 - Some development environments have HTTPS certificate issues
- Use
-
Trust development certificates (for HTTPS):
dotnet dev-certs https --trust -
Check port availability:
- Make sure ports 7160 and 5112 aren't used by other applications
- You can change ports in
Properties/launchSettings.json
HTTP test file variables not working:
-
Copy job IDs manually:
- Run a POST request to start processing
- Copy the
fileNamevalue from the response - Use it in the manual test sections
-
Use the troubleshooting section:
- Start with connectivity tests
- Use manual GUID replacements if variables fail
