rusty_ytdl

crates.io Released API docs

Youtube searching and downloading module written with pure Rust. Download videos blazing-fast without getting stuck on Youtube download speed (Downloads 20MB video files in just 10 seconds!)

Overview

Roadmap

  • ffmpeg feature
  • benchmarks

Features

  • Download live and non-live videos
  • Search with query (Video, Playlist, Channel)
  • Blocking and asynchronous API
  • Proxy, IPv6, and cookie support on request
  • CLI

Usage

use rusty_ytdl::Video;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
  let video_url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ8BxMU3BYc"; // FZ8BxMU3BYc works too!
  let video = Video::new(url).unwrap();

  let stream = video.stream().await.unwrap();

  while let Some(chunk) = stream.chunk().await.unwrap() {
    // Do what you want with chunks
    println!("{:#?}", chunk);
  }

  // Or direct download to path
  let path = std::path::Path::new(r"test.mp3");

  video.download(path).await.unwrap();

  //
  // Or with options
  //

  let video_options = VideoOptions {
    quality: VideoQuality::Lowest,
    filter: VideoSearchOptions::Audio,
    ..Default::default()
  };

  let video = Video::new_with_options(url, video_options).unwrap();

  let stream = video.stream().await.unwrap();

  while let Some(chunk) = stream.chunk().await.unwrap() {
    // Do what you want with chunks
    println!("{:#?}", chunk);
  }

  // Or direct download to path
  let path = std::path::Path::new(r"test.mp3");

  video.download(path).await.unwrap();
}

or get only video informations

use rusty_ytdl::Video;
use rusty_ytdl::{choose_format,VideoOptions};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
  let video_url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ8BxMU3BYc"; // FZ8BxMU3BYc works too!
  // Also works with live videos!!
  let video = Video::new(url).unwrap();

  let video_info = video.get_info().await.unwrap();
  println!("{:#?}",video_info);

  /*
  VideoInfo {
    dash_manifest_url: Option<String>,
    hls_manifest_url: Option<String>,
    video_details: VideoDetails,
    formats: Vec<VideoFormat>,
    related_videos: Vec<RelatedVideo>
  }
  */

  let video_options = VideoOptions {
    quality: VideoQuality::Lowest,
    filter: VideoSearchOptions::Audio,
      ..Default::default()
  };

  let format = choose_format(&video_info.unwrap().formats,&video_options);

  println!("{:#?}",format);

  // Or with options
  let video = Video::new_with_options(url, video_options.clone()).unwrap();

  let format = choose_format(&video_info.formats, &video_options);

  let video_info = video.get_info().await.unwrap();

  println!("{:#?}",video_info);
}

Limitations

rusty_ytdl cannot download videos that fall into the following

  • Regionally restricted (requires a proxy)
  • Private (if you have access, requires cookies)
  • Rentals (if you have access, requires cookies)
  • YouTube Premium content (if you have access, requires cookies)
  • Only HLS Livestreams are currently supported. Other formats not will be fetch

Generated download links are valid for 6 hours, and may only be downloadable from the same IP address.

Ratelimits

When doing to many requests YouTube might block. This will result in your requests getting denied with HTTP Status Code 429. The following steps might help you:

  • Use proxies (you can find an example proxy)
  • Extend on the Proxy Idea by rotating (IPv6)Addresses (you can find an example IPv6)
  • Use cookies (you can find an example cookies)
    • for this to take effect you have to first wait for the current ratelimit to expire!
  • Wait it out
