my $video_url = $client->get_video_url($video_id);
my $title = $client->get_title($video_id); # maybe encoded utf8 string.
my $fmt = $client->get_fmt($video_id); # maybe highest quality.

DESCRIPTION
WWW::YouTube::Download is a library to download videos from YouTube. It relies entirely on scraping a video's webpage and does not use YT's /get_video_info URL space.METHODS
- new()
-
$client = WWW::YouTube::Download->new;
Creates a WWW::YouTube::Download instance.
- download($video_id [, \%args])
-
$client->download($video_id); $client->download($video_id, { fmt => 37, filename => 'sample.mp4', # save file name }); $client->download($video_id, { filename => '{title}.{suffix}', # maybe `video_title.mp4` }); $client->download($video_id, { cb => \&callback, });
Download the video file. The first parameter is passed to YouTube video url.
Allowed arguments:
-
- "cb"
- Set a callback subroutine, SEE LWP::UserAgent ':content_cb' for details.
- "filename"
-
Set the filename, possibly using placeholders to be filled with
information gathered about the video.
"filename" supported format placeholders:
{video_id} {title} {user} {fmt} {suffix} {resolution}
Output filename is set to "{video_id}.{suffix}" by default.
- "file_name"
- DEPRECATED alternative for "filename".
- "fmt"
- set the format to download. Defaults to the best video quality (inferred by the available resolutions).
-
- playback_url($video_id, [, \%args])
-
$client->playback_url($video_id); $client->playback_url($video_id, { fmt => 37 });
Return playback URL of the video. This is direct link to the movie file. Function supports only ``fmt'' option.
- prepare_download($video_id)
-
Gather data about the video. A hash reference is returned, with the following
keys:
-
- "fmt"
- the default, suggested format. It is inferred by selecting the alternative with the highest resolution.
- "fmt_list"
- the list of available formats, as an array reference.
- "suffix"
- the filename extension associated to the default format (see "fmt" above).
- "title"
- the title of the video
- "user"
- the YouTube user owning the video
- "video_id"
- the video identifier
- "video_url"
- the URL of the video associated to the default format (see "fmt" above).
- "video_url_map"
- an hash reference containing details about all available formats.
-
The "video_url_map" has one key/value pair for each available format, where the key is the format identifier (can be used as "fmt" parameter for ``download'', for example) and the value is a hash reference with the following data:
- "fmt"
- the format specifier, that can be passed to ``download''
- "resolution"
- the resolution as widthxheight
- "suffix"
- the suffix, providing a hint about the video format (e.g. webm, flv, ...)
- "url"
- the URL where the video can be found
-
- ua([$ua])
-
$self->ua->agent(); $self->ua($LWP_LIKE_OBJECT);
Sets and gets LWP::UserAgent object.
- video_id($url)
- Parses given URL and returns video ID.
- playlist_id($url)
- Parses given URL and returns playlist ID.
- user_id($url)
- Parses given URL and returns YouTube username.
- get_video_url($video_id)
- get_title($video_id)
- get_user($video_id)
- get_fmt($video_id)
- get_fmt_list($video_id)
- get_suffix($video_id)
