About:
you-get is a command-line utility that downloads videos and audio from thousands of websites, including YouTube, Bilibili, and Twitter. It works by scraping the web to bypass restrictions and retrieve media streams directly. This tool is invaluable for archiving content or accessing media where official download options are unavailable.
Key Features:
  • Supports over 1,000 websites including major streaming platforms
  • Fetches highest quality streams available (e.g., 4K video, lossless audio)
  • Integrated media player support for streaming without downloading
  • Automated extraction of metadata like video titles and tags
  • Resumable downloads for large files
Use Cases:
  • Downloading video lectures or tutorials for offline viewing
  • Archiving live streams or social media content
  • Extracting audio tracks from music videos or podcasts
  • Bypassing regional restrictions on video content
Alternatives:
  • yt-dlp – A more active and feature-rich fork of youtube-dl, often faster and better maintained than you-get for specific platforms.
  • gallery-dl – Specializes in downloading entire galleries and albums from image hosting sites and social media.
