Intro
Hello everyone I hope you are doing well.
In this post, as you read the title we are going to make a YouTube video downloader in Python it is a very simple and fun project to build.
Modules needed :-
1) pytube :- it is an module which lets us access YouTube content from python
Installation :-
pip install pytube
Let's Code
First we will import the module which we installed
#Importing the required modules
import pytube
Now we will ask the user for entering the link of the video and a path where he/she has to save the video
#Asking for the link
link = input("Enter the link:\n ")
#Asking for the save location
save_path = input("Enter the path to save the video: ")
Now we will download the video and save it to the provided location
#Downloading the video with .mp4 extension to the save location
yt = pytube.YouTube(link)
stream = yt.streams.filter(file_extension='mp4').first()
stream.download(save_path)
In the line yt.streams.filter(file_extension='mp4').first() we can define in which format we want to save the file, so in most cases .mp4 extension is the best.
And with that done we have successfully created our project.
I hope you all enjoyed the post.
Stay safe and do take very good care of yourselves!
Feel free to ask doubts or suggest me something that I can build in next post or anything I can add in this project.
Happy Coding !
