YouTube is one of the most popular video-sharing platforms on the internet. It has millions of videos that you can watch for free. However, sometimes you may want to download a video so that you can watch it offline or share it with your friends. In this blog post, we will show you how to download YouTube videos using Python.
Python is a popular programming language that is used for a wide range of applications. It has many libraries that make it easy to perform various tasks. One such library is Pytube. Pytube is a lightweight, dependency-free Python library that can be used for downloading YouTube videos.
To get started with Pytube, you need to install it first. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
pip install pytube
Once you have installed the library, you can use the following code to download a YouTube video:
In this code, we first import the YouTube class from the pytube library. We then create an instance of this class by passing the URL of the YouTube video we want to download. We then get the first stream available for this video and download it.
from pytube import YouTube
# YouTube video URL
url = "https://youtu.be/qMNwM8q9vL8"
# Create a YouTube object
yt = YouTube(url)
# Get the first stream with the highest resolution
stream = yt.streams.filter(progressive=True, file_extension='mp4').order_by('resolution').desc().first()
# Download the video
stream.download()
In conclusion, downloading YouTube videos using Python is easy and straightforward thanks to the pytube library. With just a few lines of code, you can download any YouTube video you want and watch it offline or share it with your friends. We hope this blog post has been helpful to you!
