save youtube video in python

To save a YouTube video using Python, you can use either the YouTube Data API or web scraping. Here is an example of using the pytube library to download a YouTube video:

1. Install the pytube library:

main.py
pip install pytube
19 chars
2 lines

2. Import the library and create a YouTube object using the video URL:

main.py
from pytube import YouTube

# Replace the URL with your chosen YouTube video
url = 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ'
yt = YouTube(url)
147 chars
6 lines

3. Access the available video streams and choose the desired resolution:

main.py
# Get the video stream for the highest resolution
stream = yt.streams.get_highest_resolution()
95 chars
3 lines

4. Download the video using the chosen stream and save it to your desired file path:

main.py
# Replace the file path with your desired save location
stream.download(output_path='path/to/save/your/video')

3 lines

You can also use other libraries such as Requests, BeautifulSoup, or Selenium for web scraping to save YouTube videos, although using the YouTube API is recommended for more reliable and efficient access to YouTube's video data.
