you-get

You-Get is a tiny command-line utility to download media contents (videos, audios, images) from the Web. It allows users to download media from popular websites such as YouTube, Youku, Niconico, Bilibili, and a large list of other supported sites. For sites not explicitly listed, a universal extractor attempts to find and download resources. Key capabilities include: - Downloading videos, audios, and images from supported websites. - Streaming online videos directly into a media player (e.g., mpv, vlc) or a browser, without ads. - Scraping web pages to download images or arbitrary binary files. - Showing available quality and format options for a given URL before downloading. - Searching Google Videos and downloading the most relevant result when a non-URL keyword is passed. - Pausing and resuming downloads, with temporary `.download` files kept for progress recovery. - Setting custom output paths and filenames. - Configuring HTTP proxies, including specific extractor proxies for region-restricted content. - Loading browser cookies (Mozilla `cookies.sqlite` or Netscape `cookies.txt`) to access private or login-required media. - Extracting downloadable resource URLs or outputting extracted data in JSON format. Prerequisites include Python 3.7.4 or above and FFmpeg 1.0 or above (required for joining multi-part videos and high-resolution downloads). RTMPDump is an optional dependency. Installation is available via pip, Homebrew, Git clone, Antigen, Flox, and FreeBSD pkg. Shell completion definitions are provided for Bash, Fish, and Zsh.
