API for youtube video download and integration in your system.

api-downtube

API for youtube video download and integration in your system.

The idea for the development of this project came from the following problem: How can I download a youtube video in one line of code? so I entered the following dilemma, can I do this? And the answer is: I did.

I faced some challenges being the first API in my life and I wanted to implement solid concepts as much as possible. Even if I miss some, but I will continue this project and refactor your code.

I learned many things throughout the development of this project, from the MVC architecture pattern, to the powerful frameork flask. I am very satisfied with the result and this is just the beginning.

What problem does this API solve?

The possibility for you with few lines of code to integrate youtube videos in a simple and fast way. In addition to being able to download videos and audios for free. No need to access third-party platforms where you don't know what's going on behind the scenes. Because we at downtube value open source

Architecture

The flask will receive the endpoint and call the controller of that endpoint which in turn will call a model. Depending on the user's request, the model can consume the youtube API or download a certain video using yt-dlp
