Intro

Hello everyone I hope you are doing well. In this post, as you read the title we are going to make a YouTube video downloader in Python it is a very simple and fun project to build.

Modules needed :-

1)pytube :- it is an module which lets us access YouTube content from python ##Installation :- pip install pytube

Let's Code

First we will import the module which we installed

#Importing the required modules
import pytube

Now we will ask the user for entering the link of the video and a path where he/she has to save the video

#Asking for the link
link = input("Enter the link:\n ")

#Asking for the save location
save_path = input("Enter the path to save the video: ")

Now we will download the video and save it to the provided location

#Downloading the video with .mp4 extension to the save location
yt = pytube.YouTube(link)
stream = yt.streams.filter(file_extension='mp4').first()
stream.download(save_path)

In the line yt.streams.filter(file_extension='mp4').first() we can define in which format we want to save the file, so in most cases .mp4 extension is the best.

And with that done we have successfully created our project.

Happy Coding !
