Android based YouTube url extractor

Fork of HaarigerHarald/android-youtubeExtractor

This fork features:

• Kotlin coroutine instead of an AsyncTask
• Removed deprecated APIs

---

These are the urls to the YouTube video or audio files, so you can stream or download them.

Requires Android 5.0 (API version 21) or higher.

Gradle

To always build from the latest commit with all updates. Add the JitPack repository:

repositories {
    maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}

And the dependency:

// Required dependency
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-android:$coroutines_version"

implementation "com.github.arkon:android-youtubeExtractor:$version"

Usage

val youtubeLink = "http://youtube.com/watch?v=xxxx"

scope.launch {
    val result = YouTubeExtractor(context).extract(youtubeLink)
    result?.files?.let {
        val downloadUrl = it[22].url
        // ...
    }
    result?.metadata?.let {
        // ...
    }
}

files is a map of available media files for one YouTube video, accessible by their itag value. For further info about itags and their associated formats refer to: Wikipedia - YouTube Quality and formats.
