Telegram Youtube downloader

telegram-youtube-dl is a telegram bot made in Python that helps you download videos from YouTube, Reddit, Tiktok and many other websites.

It mainly uses the python-telegram-bot and yt-dlp libraries, alongside some other smaller ones.

Usage

This bot isn't available to the public at the moment, so you'll have to host it yourself.

Hosting

• Install python 3.9+

• Clone the repository

  git clone https://github.com/Kyryh/telegram-youtube-dl.git
  cd telegram-youtube-dl

• Optionally:

  • Create a virtual environment

    python -m venv .venv

  • Activate the virtual environment

    Windows:

    .venv\Scripts\activate

    Unix/MacOS:

    source .venv/bin/activate

• Install the requirements

  python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

• Install FFMPEG in your system (you can probably figure it out on your own)

• Create a .env file with the contents of .env.template (simply copy-paste then rename)

• Fill out the values in the .env file

• Finally, run the telegram bot

  python __main__.py

• To update the bot to the latest version, do a simple git pull

Issues and other stuff

Feel free to open an issue if you have any doubts and/or you found something that doesn't work

Also feel free to contribute by opening a pull request, the bot is far from perfect and I would appreciate some help
