YouTube Video Downloader - BlazingWarlord - May-31-2021 YouTube Video Downloader A simple YouTube video downloader that uses Pytube and google-search-module to accept a keyword and download the video most related to that keyword (according to Google Search Results). Share it with others if you like it.

Maybe there is a better googlesearch or a module, which can search videos on yt. |
