## goutubedl
Go wrapper for
[youtube-dl](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl) and
[yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp).
Currently only tested and developed using yt-dlp.
API documentation can be found at [godoc.org](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/wader/goutubedl?tab=doc).
See [yt-dlp documentation](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) for how to
install and what is recommended to install in addition to yt-dl.
goutubedl default uses `PATH` to find `youtube-dl` or `yt-dlp` (in that order) but can be configured with the
`goutubedl.Path` variable.
Due to the nature of and frequent updates of yt-dl only the latest version is tested.
But it seems to work well with older versions also.
### Usage
From [cmd/example/main.go](cmd/example/main.go)
```go
package main
import (
"context"
"io"
"log"
"os"
"github.com/wader/goutubedl"
)
func main() {
result, err := goutubedl.New(context.Background(), "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgVhBThJdXc", goutubedl.Options{})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
downloadResult, err := result.Download(context.Background(), "best")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer downloadResult.Close()
f, err := os.Create("output")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer f.Close()
io.Copy(f, downloadResult)
}
```
