# dumptube

This tool will download all videos of the given YouTube channels using the best possible quality for each video.

It also stores metadata from both channels and videos inside a local database with parent-children relationships.

## Requirements

* python 3

* pytube

* google-api-python-client

* sqlalchemy

## Usage

Set your [Google API key](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials) in an envvar:

    export YT_API_KEY=yourapikey

List the names of the channels you wish to download inside `targets`, one per line. For instance:

    youlost

    thegame

Then, install and run:

    python3 -m venv venv

    . venv/bin/activate

    pip install --upgrade .

    python dumptube

By default, videos are stored in `/dumps`. You may specify the directory in which videos should be saved using the `-d` keyword:

    python dumptube -d /tmp

You can also see what has been stored in the database (`db.sqlite`) like so:

    python dumptube -s
