PyChute

A library that helps download videos from BitChute website

Installation:

pip install pychute

Note:

Bitchute recently changed their website, however this script is still usable, you just need to add "old" at the beginning of the url address:

from:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/fFUV9Gpim7zc/
to:
https://old.bitchute.com/video/fFUV9Gpim7zc/

How to use:

from pychute import PyChute

url = "bitchute url"

pc = PyChute(url=url)
pc.download()

Additional features:

Progress callback

If you need to get progress like percentage or download speed, you can create a function and pass as a parameter in the download method.

import time
from pychute import PyChute

start_time = time.time()

def show_progress(count, block_size, total_size):
    
    # progress percentage
    progress = min(1.0, float(count * block_size) / total_size)
    print("Progress:", progress)

    # download speed
    elapsed_time = time.time() - start_time
    if elapsed_time > 0:
        speed = (count * block_size) / (1024 * elapsed_time)  # speed in KB/s
        print(f'Download speed: {speed:.2f} KB/s')


url = "bitchute url"

pc = PyChute(url=url)
pc.download(on_progress_callback=show_progress)

Filename

You can pass filename as a parameter in the form of a string to specify download location. Using download method without the filename parameter will save the file to where your script is located.

from pychute import PyChute

url = "bitchute url"

pc = PyChute(url=url)
output_path = f"D:\\Downloads/{pc.title()}"

pc.download(filename=output_path)
