Hey Guys! I’m Himanshu Awasthi & today I’m going to share how to download video’s from YouTube using small Python Script. As we all know that Python is most powerful language and we can do any thing using Python so lets start :
import All from todays_Blog
We need to download two Python Module for start write code for youtube downloader :
- youtube-dl (Download Here)
- pafy (Download Here)

youtube–dl is a command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com and a few more sites. learn more about it from Here
Pafy is very comprehensive python module, allowing download in both video and audio format. There are other features of Pafy which is not used in this module.
Pytube is a python package written for the main purpose of downloading videos from the famous video website Youtube.
lets move towards code :
import pytube
print("Enter the video link")
link = input()
yt = pytube.YouTube(link)
videos = yt.get_videos()
s = 1
for v in videos:
print(str(s)+". "+str(v))
s += 1
print("Enter the number of the video: ")
n = int(input())
vid = videos[n-1]
print("Enter the destination: ")
destination = input()
vid.download(destination)
print(yt.filename+"\nHas been successfully downloaded")
