YouTube API key option? #391

Closed Sawtaytoes closed 2 months ago

Is there an option to put in my YouTube API key like YouTubeDL-Material had?

I'm asking because YouTube often has higher quality videos available for those with Premium subscriptions (which I do), and I'd like to be able to grab those copies if possible, but I have no way to associate my YouTube account with my local downloader service.

Can you provide a command line example?

Sawtaytoes commented 5 months ago

It was part of the TrueCharts image for it. I don't know what the CLI looked like.

I don't know the youtube api, maybe the Innertube API? But if you only need login information, you can save the cookie as a file and pass it to metube https://github.com/alexta69/metube/blob/master/README.md#using-browser-cookies

Cookie file is the way, closing
