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"

	// HTTPClient can be used to set a custom HTTP client.
	// If not set, http.DefaultClient will be used
	HTTPClient *http.Client

	// MaxRoutines to use when downloading a video.
	MaxRoutines int

	// ChunkSize to use when downloading videos in chunks. Default is Size10Mb.

stream, _, err := client.GetStream(video, &formats[0])
if err != nil {

if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}

// Typically youtube only provides separate streams for video and audio.
// If you want audio and video combined, take a look a the downloader package.
format := video.Formats.FindByQuality("medium")
reader, _, err := client.GetStream(video, format)
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}

// do something with the reader

reader.Close()
