Note: This is currently not working due to YouTube changing their algorithms. I will look into this.

An unofficial YouTube API with support for decrypting streams.

Features

1. Searching for videos
2. Getting metadata for videos
3. Downloading and decrypting the video/audio stream URLs

Getting Started

The API has a main class called YouTube. From there you can access all the features of this library. Information about a video is provided by the Video class, and accessing streams is provided using the VideoStream class.

To get you started, I have some example code for you:

Searching for videos

YouTube youTube = new YouTube();
List<Video> videos = youTube.search("your query");
for (Video video : videos) {
    String title = video.getTitle();
    // ...
}

Getting the stream URL

YouTube youTube = new YouTube();
List<VideoStream> videoStreams = youTube.getStreams("your video id");
for (VideoStream videoStream : videoStreams) {
    String url = videoStream.getUrl().get();
    // ...
}

Downloading metadata

YouTube youTube = new YouTube();
Video video = youTube.getMetadata("your video id");
// ...

Legal stuff

This library is based on the C# library libvideo made by i3arnon
