0:11
Reddit video downloader script that I uh

developed inside Python using an

do so if you open
0:23
Reddit simply go to the U uh post where
0:27
the video is present and simply copy the
0:30
address So just simp simply copy the URL
0:33
So we need to download this video So
0:36
simply paste this inside the
0:39
script As soon as you paste it so let me
0:43
run this Python script So as soon as I
0:45
run this Python script on the left hand
0:47
side you will see the video will get
0:50
downloaded a folder will get created You
0:53

0:55
downloaded and you will

1:10
any sort of video and uh it's really
1:14
easy you just need to copy the address
1:17
of whichever video you want to
1:19

1:23
here and simply copy this address So
1:27
after copying the address you simply
1:33

this you will see it will download this
1:42
video very easily You can see that now
1:45
it has downloaded the second
1:47
video You can see
1:49
that So we are using a open-source
1:53
package inside Python So let me show you
1:56
the package So go to this website py
1:59
pyorg and this is actually the package
2:03
yt-dp So it's an open-source package
2:07
There is no kind of restriction No need
2:09
to use any sort of API key Just install
2:12
this and in the background it is
2:14
communicating with the Reddit API You
2:16
can do this unlimited number of time And
2:18
let me now show you the
2:20
script So just create a simple app py
2:23
file After downloading this module we
2:27
simply first of all require this We
2:29
simply say import ytlp Then we also
2:32
import the operating system
2:36
module And then here we specify the
2:39
video URL So here you just need to paste
2:42
uh the
2:44
URL of the video that you want to
2:46
download Simply paste it After that here
2:50
you need to specify the output name
2:53
which will contain the title and the
2:55
extension of this So we will create this
2:57
uh downloaded videos folder Inside this
3:00
we will see the title of the video After
3:03
that we need to create the folder For
3:05
creating the folder we use this
3:07
operating system make
3:09
directories We create this directory
3:11
After
3:12
that we specify the options that need to
3:16
be passed So here you can actually
3:18
control the quality of the video So it
3:21
contains three options in this JSON
3:23
object We first of all the output
3:25
template Then we have the format of the
3:27
video So here you can specify which
3:29
quality of the video you want So I'm
3:31
specifying here best audio quality and
3:33
best video quality And then the third
3:36
option is the extension So we want the
3:38
MP4 video So after that we spec we just
3:42
download the video like this YDL It
3:46
contains this download function And then
3:48
we specify the video So this completes
3:51
the script Really easy script You can
3:54

3:56
only 10 lines of code And once you get
4:00
the script
4:01

with this module you can make awesome
4:10
applications such as Reddit video
