Download video and audio from Youtube
npm i kamtube
import KamTube from 'kamtube'
npm i -g kamtube@latest
kamtube [URL|search query]
CLI also supports -x argument, this means that only the audio will be downloaded.
Examples in docs/examples.md
This package uses ytb.trom.tf and Invidious instances to load the videos, retrieve metadata and download. Those youtube alternate frontends aren't blocked on places that youtube may be and are trade-free, making them a good alternative.
The downside is that they are much slower than default youtube and modules, so my recommendation is to only use this as last alternative.
