Description
This repository provides a downloader who will help you to download a youtube video
Installation
Server Side
Run this command to install it
npm i youtube-video-dlClient Side
Or import it in your browser
<script type="module">
import Downloader from '../dist/index.mjs';
</script>Setup Proxy
You also need to setup a proxy (Hello Cors), but don't worry i provide you a small handler to do it
Create a new file server.js Copy / Paste the following code
import { Server } from 'youtube-video-transcript';
Server.default.listen(8080);Then run node server.js
Setup Cdn
All the following exemple will use the file mjs in local assuming that you have run the npm install command but if you don't want to it you can use the following
<script type="module">
import Transcriptor from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/youtube-video-dl/dist/index.mjs';
</script>But you will need to install a proxy like tiny-cors-proxy to bypass the cors option
You can install this package via npm:
npm install tiny-cors-proxyThen create a new file server.js and paste the following snipset :
import Server from 'tiny-cors-proxy';
Server.listen(8080);Then run node server.js
