NewPipe Extractor
March 1, 2026 · View on GitHub
NewPipe Extractor is a library for extracting things from streaming sites. It is a core component of NewPipe, but could be used independently.
Usage
NewPipe Extractor is available at JitPack's Maven repo.
If you're using Gradle, you could add NewPipe Extractor as a dependency with the following steps:
- Add
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }to therepositoriesin yourbuild.gradle. - Add
implementation 'com.github.teamnewpipe:NewPipeExtractor:INSERT_VERSION_HERE'to thedependenciesin yourbuild.gradle. ReplaceINSERT_VERSION_HEREwith the latest release. - If you are using tools to minimize your project, make sure to keep the files below, by e.g. adding the following lines to your proguard file:
## Rules for NewPipeExtractor
-keep class org.mozilla.javascript.** { *; }
-keep class org.mozilla.classfile.ClassFileWriter
-dontwarn org.mozilla.javascript.tools.**
Note
To use NewPipe Extractor in Android projects with a minSdk below 33, core library desugaring with the desugar_jdk_libs_nio artifact is required.
Testing changes
Maven Central
NewPipe Extractor's snapshots are available on Maven Central's snapshot repository. These versions
are based on the commit's short hash (for e.g. git rev-parse --short HEAD) and are available for
90 days since the date of publication/commit.
repositories {
maven(url = "https://central.sonatype.com/repository/maven-snapshots/")
}
dependencies {
implementation("net.newpipe:extractor:${LAST_COMMIT_SHORT_HASH}-SNAPSHOT")
}
Local
To test changes quickly you can build the library locally. A good approach would be to add something like the following to your settings.gradle:
includeBuild('../NewPipeExtractor') {
dependencySubstitution {
substitute module('com.github.teamnewpipe:NewPipeExtractor') with project(':extractor')
}
}
Another approach would be to use the local Maven repository, here's a gist of how to use it:
- Add
mavenLocal()in your projectrepositorieslist (usually as the first entry to give priority above the others). - It's recommended that you change the
versionof this library (e.g.LOCAL_SNAPSHOT). - Run gradle's
ìnstalltask to deploy this library to your local repository (using the wrapper, present in the root of this project:./gradlew install) - Change the dependency version used in your project to match the one you chose in step 2 (
implementation 'com.github.teamnewpipe:NewPipeExtractor:LOCAL_SNAPSHOT')
Tip
Tip for Android Studio users: After you make changes and run the install task, use the menu option File → "Sync with File System" to refresh the library in your project.
