# pytube



*pytube* is a genuine, lightweight, dependency-free Python library (and command-line utility) for downloading YouTube videos.



## Documentation



Detailed documentation about the usage of the library can be found at [pytube.io](https://pytube.io). This is recommended for most cases. If you want to hastily download a single video, the [quick start](#Quickstart) guide below might be what you're looking for.



## Description



YouTube is the most popular video-sharing platform in the world and as a hacker, you may encounter a situation where you want to script something to download videos. For this, I present to you: *pytube*.



*pytube* is a lightweight library written in Python. It has no third-party

dependencies and aims to be highly reliable.



*pytube* also makes pipelining easy, allowing you to specify callback functions for different download events, such as  ``on progress`` or ``on complete``.



Furthermore, *pytube* includes a command-line utility, allowing you to download videos right from the terminal.



## Features



- Support for both progressive & DASH streams

- Support for downloading the complete playlist

- Easily register ``on_download_progress`` & ``on_download_complete`` callbacks

- Command-line interfaced included

- Caption track support

- Outputs caption tracks to .srt format (SubRip Subtitle)

- Ability to capture thumbnail URL

- Extensively documented source code

- No third-party dependencies



## Quickstart



This guide covers the most basic usage of the library. For more detailed information, please refer to [pytube.io](https://pytube.io).



### Installation



Pytube requires an installation of Python 3.6 or greater, as well as pip. (Pip is typically bundled with Python [installations](https://python.org/downloads).)



To install from PyPI with pip:



```bash

$ python -m pip install pytube

```



Sometimes, the PyPI release becomes slightly outdated. To install from the source with pip:



```bash

$ python -m pip install git+https://github.com/pytube/pytube

```



### Using pytube in a Python script



To download a video using the library in a script, you'll need to import the YouTube class from the library and pass an argument of the video URL. From there, you can access the streams and download them.



```python

 >>> from pytube import YouTube

 >>> YouTube('https://youtu.be/2lAe1cqCOXo').streams.first().download()

 >>> yt = YouTube('http://youtube.com/watch?v=2lAe1cqCOXo')

 >>> yt.streams

  ... .filter(progressive=True, file_extension='mp4')

  ... .order_by('resolution')

  ... .desc()

  ... .first()

  ... .download()

```



### Using the command-line interface



Using the CLI is remarkably straightforward as well. To download a video at the highest progressive quality, you can use the following command:

```bash

$ pytube https://youtube.com/watch?v=2lAe1cqCOXo

```



You can also do the same for a playlist:

```bash

$ pytube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLS1QulWo1RIaJECMeUT4LFwJ-ghgoSH6n

```
