Quickstart
mp4 video download highest resolution:
from pytubefix import YouTube
from pytubefix.cli import on_progress
url = "url"
yt = YouTube(url, on_progress_callback = on_progress)
print(yt.title)
ys = yt.streams.get_highest_resolution()
ys.download()
If you want to save in .mp3 just pass the mp3=True parameter (MPEG-4 AAC audio codec):
from pytubefix import YouTube
from pytubefix.cli import on_progress
url = "url"
yt = YouTube(url, on_progress_callback = on_progress)
print(yt.title)
ys = yt.streams.get_audio_only()
ys.download(mp3=True) # pass the parameter mp3=True to save in .mp3
if you want to download complete playlists:
from pytubefix import Playlist
from pytubefix.cli import on_progress
url = "url"
pl = Playlist(url)
for video in pl.videos:
ys = video.streams.get_audio_only()
ys.download(mp3=True) # pass the parameter mp3=True to save in .mp3
if you want to add authentication
from pytubefix import YouTube
from pytubefix.cli import on_progress
url = "url"
yt = YouTube(url, use_oauth=True, allow_oauth_cache=True, on_progress_callback = on_progress)
ys = yt.streams.get_audio_only()
ys.download(mp3=True) # you will only get the request to authenticate once you download
Subtitle/Caption Tracks:
viewing available subtitles:
from pytubefix import YouTube
yt = YouTube('http://youtube.com/watch?v=2lAe1cqCOXo')
subtitles = yt.captions
print(subtitles)
printing the subtitle tracks:
from pytubefix import YouTube
yt = YouTube('http://youtube.com/watch?v=2lAe1cqCOXo')
caption = yt.captions.get_by_language_code('en')
print(caption.generate_srt_captions())
now you can save subtitles to a txt file:
from pytubefix import YouTube
yt = YouTube('http://youtube.com/watch?v=2lAe1cqCOXo')
caption = yt.captions.get_by_language_code('en')
caption.save_captions("captions.txt")
Using Channels:
get the channel name:
from pytubefix import Channel
c = Channel("https://www.youtube.com/@ProgrammingKnowledge/featured")
print(f'Channel name: {c.channel_name}')
to download all videos from a channel:
from pytubefix import Channel
c = Channel("https://www.youtube.com/@ProgrammingKnowledge")
print(f'Downloading videos by: {c.channel_name}')
for video in c.videos:
download = video.streams.get_highest_resolution().download()
