grabvid

Grabs videos from Youtube and saves them locally

Usage no npm install needed!

<script type="module">
  import grabvid from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/grabvid';
</script>

Given a Youtube video ID, downloads it locally for watching offline.

npm install -g grabvid

Why globally? Because my usage of this is generally to download a video into my current directory with:

grabvid dQw4w9WgXcQ

git clone https://github.com/adrianblynch/grabvid

cd grabvid

node bin/grabvid dQw4w9WgXcQ

Where dQw4w9WgXcQ is the v query parameter of a Youtube video URL.

Videos are saved in the current directory.
