yt_info

Rust library to fetch YouTube content and retrieve metadata. Fork of rafy-rs

Installation

Put the below in your Cargo.toml

[dependencies]

yt_info = "0.3.1"

Usage Examples

use yt_info::VideoInfo;
use std::fs::File;
use std::io;

fn main() {
    let youtube_token = env!("YOUTUBE_TOKEN");

    let video = VideoInfo::new(youtube_token,"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0DPdy98e4c").unwrap();
    let streams = video.streams;
    let stream = &streams[0];

    let filename = format!("{}-stream.{}",&video.title,&stream.extension);

    let mut file = File::create(filename).unwrap();
    let mut stream_reader = stream.get_reader().unwrap();

    io::copy(&mut stream_reader,&mut file).unwrap();
}

For more examples check out the Documentation.

Limitations

• This library won't be able to fetch audiostreams and videostreams for unpopular videos, because YouTube does not generate separate streams for unpopular videos. However, it will still be able to fetch normal streams.

• Since this library does not depend on youtube-dl, there are some more things (not mentioning here) that we'll be missing out.

The basic method of extracting streams was stolen from rust-youtube-downloader by smoqadam.
