Which means, like youtube-dl, it will break every week or two
- builderone 6y agoMore like every three weeks, but who's counting :)
- builderone 6y agoAlso I like to add, I've build number of applications using an API only to regret the time I spent on it later. When you rely on external API, its really not your product and you don't own it, API owns you and every move you make. Instead, I would rather rely on a strong community for support such as YouTube-DL, even though there are issues and its not perfect, still much better than API route, just my two cents.

- amelius 6y agoI wouldn't be surprised if it used youtube-dl under the hood.
- LinuxBender 6y agoThey do sometimes break it. I've had to on occasion pass other header options along with it to look more like a generic web browser.
