A Node.js wrapper library around the youtube-dl command-line tool for downloading videos from YouTube and other sites. It exposes youtube-dl as a stream-based API with support for format selection and resuming partial downloads.
Use cases
- download youtube videos from node.js
- resume partially downloaded videos
- pipe video downloads to a file stream
- pass custom youtube-dl flags programmatically
When to avoid
- starting a new project (the repo is deprecated in favor of youtube-dl-exec)
- you only need YouTube downloads (consider ytdl-core instead)
- you need actively maintained youtube-dl support
