Python Mini Projects for Everyone-3

Do your own video and Mp3 downloader.

Python mini projects continue with download video or Mp3 from Youtube.

I am sure that everybody search on Google “Youtube Mp3 Download” at least once lifetime :)

Why don’t we create our downloader on Python, let’s have a look.

First we will install or API(Pytube).

!pip install pytube

I am using Google Colab, so i copied path from “Sample Data” file and copied url from Youtube. We will see which song i download at the end.

# https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy0CN6O6q-M => Youtube link which we download
# path=/content/sample_data  => Path copied from Colab

We will write a basic function, you can find explanations on the command line.

def Downloader():
  import pytube # Import library
  url=input("Please paste your youtube link : ") # Take url from user
  MediaType=input("Mp3 or Mp4 ? : ") # I add two option Mp3 and mP4 
  path="/content/sample_data" # My video or Mp3 file will dowload ths path.
  if MediaType=='mp4': # Case 1 if my mediatype is Mp4
    print("Mp4 file is downloading...")
    pytube.YouTube(url).streams.get_highest_resolution().download(output_path=path,filename="video.mp4") # then download Mp4 file.
  else:
    print("Mp3 file is downloading...") #İf is not Mp4 so if is it mp3
    pytube.YouTube(url).streams.get_audio_only().download(output_path=path,filename="video.mp3") # then download Mp3 file.
  return('Download finished.')  

Not hard, isn’t it :) Let’s try.

You can see Mp4 file in “Sample Data” file.
