# EMBEDDING YOUTUBE-DL
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
youtube-dl makes the best effort to be a good command-line program, and thus should be callable from any programming language. If you encounter any problems parsing its output, feel free to [create a report](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/new).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From a Python program, you can embed youtube-dl in a more powerful fashion, like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```python
|
||
|
|
from __future__ import unicode_literals
|
||
|
|
import youtube_dl
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ydl_opts = {}
|
||
|
|
with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
|
||
|
|
ydl.download(['https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaW_jenozKc'])
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most likely, you'll want to use various options. For a list of options available, have a look at [`youtube_dl/YoutubeDL.py`](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/blob/3e4cedf9e8cd3157df2457df7274d0c842421945/youtube_dl/YoutubeDL.py#L137-L312). For a start, if you want to intercept youtube-dl's output, set a `logger` object.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here's a more complete example of a program that outputs only errors (and a short message after the download is finished), and downloads/converts the video to an mp3 file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```python
|
||
|
|
from __future__ import unicode_literals
|
||
|
|
import youtube_dl
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
class MyLogger(object):
|
||
|
|
def debug(self, msg):
|
||
|
|
pass
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
def warning(self, msg):
|
||
|
|
pass
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
def error(self, msg):
|
||
|
|
print(msg)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
def my_hook(d):
|
||
|
|
if d['status'] == 'finished':
|
||
|
|
print('Done downloading, now converting ...')
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ydl_opts = {
|
||
|
|
'format': 'bestaudio/best',
|
||
|
|
'postprocessors': [{
|
||
|
|
'key': 'FFmpegExtractAudio',
|
||
|
|
'preferredcodec': 'mp3',
|
||
|
|
'preferredquality': '192',
|
||
|
|
}],
|
||
|
|
'logger': MyLogger(),
|
||
|
|
'progress_hooks': [my_hook],
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
|
||
|
|
ydl.download(['https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaW_jenozKc'])
|
||
|
|
```
