Download Any Online Video with One Python Command: A Step‑by‑Step Guide

In this article we introduce a Python‑based tool you‑get that can download videos, images, and music from many websites with a single command.

01 Based on Python

The tool is written in Python and works with a one‑line command such as you-get 'video URL'. We demonstrate by downloading the "后浪" speech video.

02 Easy Resolution Change

After downloading you can view video information and change the format or quality with a single command, e.g., you-get --itag=18 'video URL' to obtain an MP4 file.

03 Supported Sites

The same command works for many domestic and international platforms, including Bilibili, Youku, iQIYI, TikTok, YouTube, and dozens of others.

04 Installation

Install the tool via pip, Git, or Homebrew:

pip3 install you-get
git clone https://github.com/soimort/you-get.git
python3 setup.py install
brew install you-get
