---

[You-Get](https://you-get.org/) is a tiny command-line utility to download media contents (videos, audios, images) from the Web, in case there is no other handy way to do it.

Here's how you use `you-get` to download a video from [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw):

```console
$ you-get 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw'
site:                YouTube
title:               Me at the zoo
stream:
    - itag:          43
      container:     webm
      quality:       medium
      size:          0.5 MiB (564215 bytes)
    # download-with: you-get --itag=43 [URL]

Downloading Me at the zoo.webm ...
 100% (  0.5/  0.5MB) ├██████████████████████████████████┤[1/1]    6 MB/s

Saving Me at the zoo.en.srt ... Done.
```

And here's why you might want to use it:

* You enjoyed something on the Internet, and just want to download them for your own pleasure.
* You watch your favorite videos online from your computer, but you are prohibited from saving them. You feel that you have no control over your own computer. (And it's not how an open Web is supposed to work.)
* You want to get rid of any closed-source technology or proprietary JavaScript code, and disallow things like Flash running on your computer.
* You are an adherent of hacker culture and free software.

What `you-get` can do for you:

* Download videos / audios from popular websites such as YouTube, Youku, Niconico, and a bunch more. (See the [full list of supported sites](#supported-sites))
* Stream an online video in your media player. No web browser, no more ads.
* Download images (of interest) by scraping a web page.
* Download arbitrary non-HTML contents, i.e., binary files.

Interested? [Install it](#installation) now and [get started by examples](#getting-started).

Are you a Python programmer? Then check out [the source](https://github.com/soimort/you-get) and fork it!

## Installation

### Prerequisites

The following dependencies are necessary:

* **[Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/)**  3.2 or above
* **[FFmpeg](https://www.ffmpeg.org/)** 1.0 or above
* (Optional) [RTMPDump](https://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/)

### Option 1: Install via pip

The official release of `you-get` is distributed on [PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/you-get), and can be installed easily from a PyPI mirror via the [pip](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pip_$package_manager$) package manager. Note that you must use the Python 3 version of `pip`:

$ pip3 install you-get

### Option 2: Install via [Antigen](https://github.com/zsh-users/antigen) (for Zsh users)

Add the following line to your `.zshrc`:

antigen bundle soimort/you-get

### Option 3: Download from GitHub

You may either download the [stable](https://github.com/soimort/you-get/archive/master.zip) (identical with the latest release on PyPI) or the [develop](https://github.com/soimort/you-get/archive/develop.zip) (more hotfixes, unstable features) branch of `you-get`. Unzip it, and put the directory containing the `you-get` script into your `PATH`.

Alternatively, run

```
$ [sudo] python3 setup.py install
```

```
$ python3 setup.py install --user
```

to install `you-get` to a permanent path.

### Option 4: Git clone

This is the recommended way for all developers, even if you don't often code in Python.

```
$ git clone git://github.com/soimort/you-get.git
```

Then put the cloned directory into your `PATH`, or run `./setup.py install` to install `you-get` to a permanent path.

### Option 5: Homebrew (Mac only)

You can install `you-get` easily via:

```
$ brew install you-get
```

### Option 6: pkg (FreeBSD only)

You can install `you-get` easily via:

```
# pkg install you-get
```

### Shell completion

Completion definitions for Bash, Fish and Zsh can be found in [`contrib/completion`](https://github.com/soimort/you-get/tree/develop/contrib/completion). Please consult your shell's manual for how to take advantage of them.

## Upgrading

Based on which option you chose to install `you-get`, you may upgrade it via:

```
$ pip3 install --upgrade you-get
```

or download the latest release via:

```
$ you-get https://github.com/soimort/you-get/archive/master.zip
```

In order to get the latest ```develop``` branch without messing up the PIP, you can try:

```
$ pip3 install --upgrade git+https://github.com/soimort/you-get@develop
```

## Getting Started

### Download a video

When you get a video of interest, you might want to use the `--info`/`-i` option to see all available quality and formats:

```
$ you-get -i 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw'
site:                YouTube
title:               Me at the zoo

By default, the one on the top is the one you will get. If that looks cool to you, download it:

```
$ you-get 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw'
site:                YouTube
title:               Me at the zoo
stream:
    - itag:          242
      container:     webm
      quality:       320x240
      size:          0.6 MiB (618358 bytes)
    # download-with: you-get --itag=242 [URL]

Downloading Me at the zoo.webm ...
 100% (  0.6/  0.6MB) ├██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████┤[2/2]    2 MB/s
Merging video parts... Merged into Me at the zoo.webm

Saving Me at the zoo.en.srt ... Done.
```

(If a YouTube video has any closed captions, they will be downloaded together with the video file, in SubRip subtitle format.)

Or, if you prefer another format (mp4), just use whatever the option `you-get` shows to you:

```
$ you-get --itag=18 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw'
```

**Note:**

* At this point, format selection has not been generally implemented for most of our supported sites; in that case, the default format to download is the one with the highest quality.
* `ffmpeg` is a required dependency, for downloading and joining videos streamed in multiple parts (e.g. on some sites like Youku), and for YouTube videos of 1080p or high resolution.
* If you don't want `you-get` to join video parts after downloading them, use the `--no-merge`/`-n` option.

### Download anything else

If you already have the URL of the exact resource you want, you can download it directly with:

```
$ you-get https://stallman.org/rms.jpg
Site:       stallman.org
Title:      rms
Type:       JPEG Image (image/jpeg)
Size:       0.06 MiB (66482 Bytes)

Downloading rms.jpg ...
100.0% (  0.1/0.1  MB) ├████████████████████████████████████████┤[1/1]  127 kB/s
```

Otherwise, `you-get` will scrape the web page and try to figure out if there's anything interesting to you:

```
$ you-get http://kopasas.tumblr.com/post/69361932517
Site:       Tumblr.com
Title:      kopasas
Type:       Unknown type (None)
Size:       0.51 MiB (536583 Bytes)

Site:       Tumblr.com
Title:      tumblr_mxhg13jx4n1sftq6do1_1280
Type:       Portable Network Graphics (image/png)
Size:       0.51 MiB (536583 Bytes)

Downloading tumblr_mxhg13jx4n1sftq6do1_1280.png ...
100.0% (  0.5/0.5  MB) ├████████████████████████████████████████┤[1/1]   22 MB/s
```

**Note:**

* This feature is an experimental one and far from perfect. It works best on scraping large-sized images from popular websites like Tumblr and Blogger, but there is really no universal pattern that can apply to any site on the Internet.

### Search on Google Videos and download

You can pass literally anything to `you-get`. If it isn't a valid URL, `you-get` will do a Google search and download the most relevant video for you. (It might not be exactly the thing you wish to see, but still very likely.)

```
$ you-get "Richard Stallman eats"
```

### Pause and resume a download

You may use <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>C</kbd> to interrupt a download.

A temporary `.download` file is kept in the output directory. Next time you run `you-get` with the same arguments, the download progress will resume from the last session. In case the file is completely downloaded (the temporary `.download` extension is gone), `you-get` will just skip the download.

To enforce re-downloading, use the `--force`/`-f` option. (**Warning:** doing so will overwrite any existing file or temporary file with the same name!)

### Set the path and name of downloaded file

Use the `--output-dir`/`-o` option to set the path, and `--output-filename`/`-O` to set the name of the downloaded file:

```
$ you-get -o ~/Videos -O zoo.webm 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw'
```

**Tips:**

* These options are helpful if you encounter problems with the default video titles, which may contain special characters that do not play well with your current shell / operating system / filesystem.
* These options are also helpful if you write a script to batch download files and put them into designated folders with designated names.

### Proxy settings

You may specify an HTTP proxy for `you-get` to use, via the `--http-proxy`/`-x` option:

```
$ you-get -x 127.0.0.1:8087 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw'
```

However, the system proxy setting (i.e. the environment variable `http_proxy`) is applied by default. To disable any proxy, use the `--no-proxy` option.

**Tips:**

* If you need to use proxies a lot (in case your network is blocking certain sites), you might want to use `you-get` with [proxychains](https://github.com/rofl0r/proxychains-ng) and set `alias you-get="proxychains -q you-get"` (in Bash).
* For some websites (e.g. Youku), if you need access to some videos that are only available in mainland China, there is an option of using a specific proxy to extract video information from the site: `--extractor-proxy`/`-y`.

### Watch a video

Use the `--player`/`-p` option to feed the video into your media player of choice, e.g. `mpv` or `vlc`, instead of downloading it:

```
$ you-get -p vlc 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw'
```

Or, if you prefer to watch the video in a browser, just without ads or comment section:

```
$ you-get -p chromium 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw'
```

**Tips:**

* It is possible to use the `-p` option to start another download manager, e.g., `you-get -p uget-gtk 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw'`, though they may not play together very well.

### Load cookies

Not all videos are publicly available to anyone. If you need to log in your account to access something (e.g., a private video), it would be unavoidable to feed the browser cookies to `you-get` via the `--cookies`/`-c` option.

**Note:**

* As of now, we are supporting two formats of browser cookies: Mozilla `cookies.sqlite` and Netscape `cookies.txt`.

### Reuse extracted data

Use `--url`/`-u` to get a list of downloadable resource URLs extracted from the page. Use `--json` to get an abstract of extracted data in the JSON format.

**Warning:**

* For the time being, this feature has **NOT** been stabilized and the JSON schema may have breaking changes in the future.
