ShortDL is a tool for downloading YouTube videos, extracting metadata, and storing checksum values to avoid duplicate downloads.

• Download YouTube videos.
• Extract metadata, including description, captions, title, and transcript.
• Store and check checksum values in a PostgreSQL database to avoid duplicate downloads.
• Handle sensitive content and various errors gracefully.

• Go 1.16+
• Docker
• PostgreSQL
• Gin framework
• GORM
• youtube/v2 library

1. Run PostgreSQL in Docker:

   docker run --rm --name dev-postgres -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=12345678 -d postgres

2. Initialize the Database:

   Ensure the database is running and update the connection string in database/connect.go if necessary.

• Update the DSN in database/connect.go with your PostgreSQL credentials.

• main.go: Application entry point.
• routes/routes.go: Defines API routes.
• services/syoutube.go: Contains the logic for downloading videos and extracting metadata.
• database/database.go: Database connection and initialization.
• models/models.go: Defines the database models.
• utils/utils.go: Utility functions.
• handler/handler.go: Error handling.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/shortdl.git
   cd shortdl

2. Install dependencies:

   go mod tidy

3. Run the application:

   go run main.go

• GET /yshort

  Extracts the video ID from the URL, downloads the video, and stores metadata.

  Request:

  GET /yshort?url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOUR_VIDEO_ID

  Response:

  {
    "message": "Successfully downloaded youtube",
    "data": {
      "Description": "Video description",
      "Caption": {
        "BaseUrl": "https://...",
        "Name": {
          "Language": "English",
          "Value": "English"
        }
      },
      "Title": "Video title",
      "Transcript": "Transcript text"
    }
  }

• Ensure the download directory exists in the root of the project to store downloaded videos.
• The application checks for existing checksums to avoid downloading duplicate videos.
• Update utils/utils.go and handler/handler.go as needed to match your project structure.
