Ah it's buggy, youtube really doesn't like their videos being downloaded. Built it with yt-dlp library. Continuously tweaking it

  As a heads up, you might soon need a JS runtime to make it work[1]. You might have to tweak even more (: [1]https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/14404 https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/14404

there is also uh, god, I always forget its name whenever I want to use it.... AHHHHH YESS, I FINALLY REMEMBERED IT AFTER 5 minutes of thinking. https://cobalt.tools https://cobalt.tools This has definitely helped me a lot in a lot of times when I didn't have my pc or just in general too, their api was also pretty hackable too actually and they support more than youtube Btw did I mention its open source? Tho the last time I did try to install something from cobalt.tools it wasn't working One time, I remember that a group of girls in my previous school were downloading yt vids on school lab via some sketchy website and I said to them to use cobalt.tools while I was walking & I definitely farmed some aura too I suppose which I am sure literally everyone involved in the scene have forgotten except me who is recalling it right now.

  The instance https://cobalt.meowing.de https://cobalt.meowing.de is currently working for YouTube, which is very useful

    thanks, didn't knew but I guess, its great! Another thing I like about cobalt is the api, I had cooked something that could be a bang in duckduckgo of sorts that would download the video from the api of cobalt but I just couldn't deliver the bang and also I needed some custom facing thing in the background but now I think that I can have something like cloudflare. Imagine having this thing in browser where !yt-dlp <youtube video> just downloads it or refers us to a working cobalt instance y'know. I might build something like this for cf workers or smth. What are your thoughts?

Fun story: I had the fun experience of collaborating on an integration with an engineer at JP Morgan Chase who introduced me to this tool, which they use, self-hosted of course, as an alternative to having engineers just pasting things into random online tools that come up when you google “base64 decode” etc. From our whole interaction, I came away admiring the skill and professionalism of their team.
