How it works

  • Parse the video ID you input in URL
    • ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFejpH_tAHM, the video id is rFejpH_tAHM
  • Get video information via video id.
    • Use URL: http://youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=
  • Parse and decode video information.
    • Download URL in "url="
    • title in "title="
  • Download video from URL
    • Need the string combination of "url"
