video-scraper

Features

  • Video downloader with just a single command.
    • yt-dlp is used to download videos
    • A .csv file is used to manage what videos to download.

Example uses

  • Downloading lecture videos from Youtube
  • Downloading music videos from Youtube
  • Downloading presentation videos from online academic conferences

How to use

Works for Windows / MacOS / Linux! 😸

If you are using python alias instead of python3, use python command instead of python3 (Most likely if you are using Windows)

# Fill the 'video_list.csv' before running the command.
# First column of the csv file should be 'video name'
# Second column of the csv file should be 'video url'

python3 ./run.py --setup

Downloading video from other websites

  • If you are downloading a video from a website that is not officially supported by yt-dlp...
    • Get the streaming url by using Video Downloadhelper.
    • Paste the streaming url onto the video_list.csv

License / Legal issues

  • I strongly recommend using this software ONLY to download videos for PERSONAL USE.
  • I am not responsible for any legal issues caused by copyright violations.
    • For example...
      • Sharing the videos without original author's contents
      • Profitting from the videos you downloaded
      • Downloading the videos from the websites where it's not allowed.
