The project is a Flask application that allows users to download videos from YouTube. The application exposes two API endpoints: /api/download and /api/receive_url.
The /api/download endpoint enables users to download a video by specifying its URL and itag, while the /api/receive_url endpoint retrieves the formats and information of a video based on its URL.
This API use the pytube library to interact with the YouTube API and download videos. It supports various video formats and also handles the downloading and merging of audio and video streams for non-progressive videos with FFMPEG.
The goal of this project is to provide an easy-to-use solution for downloading videos from YouTube.
