YouTube Video Downloader

There are a few reasons why download options might not appear:

• The video might be protected or restricted by YouTube
• Your server might be on a shared hosting plan that doesn't support the required libraries
• The YouTube API quota might be exceeded for the day

If you're experiencing this issue, try using one of the external service options like Y2mate or SaveFrom that appear below the download section.

Direct Download: Our server handles the download process, and the file is delivered directly to you without visiting any other websites.

External Services: These options redirect you to third-party websites like Y2mate or SaveFrom that can provide additional formats or handle videos our server cannot process.

To install this downloader on your own server, follow these steps:

1. Upload all files to your web hosting
2. Ensure PHP 7.0+ is enabled on your server
3. For advanced functionality, install youtube-dl or yt-dlp on your server:
   • Linux: sudo apt-get install youtube-dl or pip install yt-dlp
   • Windows: Download from their official websites and add to your PATH
4. Access the admin panel at /admin/ to configure your site
5. Add your own YouTube API key in the admin settings

If you're on shared hosting without command-line access, the downloader will automatically use external services like Y2mate as fallbacks.

A YouTube API key is required to fetch video details like the title, channel, views, and duration. Without an API key, the downloader can still work, but it won't show detailed information about the videos.

To get your own YouTube API key:

1. Go to Google Developers Console
2. Create a new project
3. Enable the "YouTube Data API v3"
4. Create credentials for an API key
5. Add the key in the admin panel's API Settings section

The legality of downloading YouTube videos varies by country and depends on factors like copyright, fair use, and the terms of service. In general:

• Downloading videos for personal, non-commercial use might be allowed in some jurisdictions under fair use
• Downloading copyrighted content without permission for redistribution is generally illegal
• Downloading your own content or public domain videos is usually acceptable

We recommend using this tool responsibly and respecting copyright laws and YouTube's terms of service.

To get more download options and formats:

1. Install the latest version of youtube-dl or yt-dlp on your server
2. Ensure that FFmpeg is also installed for audio extraction and conversion
3. Make sure your server has enough resources and permissions to run these tools

If you're on shared hosting without these capabilities, you can use the external service options like Y2mate that offer more format choices.

The download limits depend on several factors:

• YouTube API quota (limited to 10,000 units per day)
• Your server's bandwidth and resources
• External service limitations (if using Y2mate or SaveFrom)

For high-volume usage, consider upgrading your server or implementing a caching mechanism.
