Download Youtube Video Using Python

Youtube videos can be easily downloaded using Python. We use a library named Pytube to download video.

from pytube import Youtube

Now we will define the save path and url to download video from youtube.

#where to save
SAVE_PATH = "H:/Youtube Downloads/" #to_do
 
#link of the video to be downloaded
link='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9UjK-mWm7s'

Now we will download video using YouTube

#object creation using YouTube which was imported in the beginning
yt = YouTube(link)

#filters out all the files with "mp4" extension
yt = yt.streams.first()
try:
    #downloading the video
    yt.download(SAVE_PATH)
except:
    print("error")
# On complete print success Message
print("Task Completed")

So whole code will look like this

from pytube import Youtube
#where to save
SAVE_PATH = "H:/Youtube Downloads/" #to_do
 
#link of the video to be downloaded
link='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9UjK-mWm7s'
#object creation using YouTube which was imported in the beginning
yt = YouTube(link)

#filters out all the files with "mp4" extension
yt = yt.streams.first()
try:
    #downloading the video
    yt.download(SAVE_PATH)
except:
    print("error")
# On complete print success Message
print("Task Completed")
