A promised-based PHP wrapper for YtDlp built off ReactPHP

NOTE BEFORE USING YOU WILL NEED TO START A REACT/PROMISE LOOP OR THE SCRIPT WILL DIE BEFORE THE COMMAND FINISHES EXECUTING!!!

Creating YtDlp

$yt = new YtDlp();

You can supply a path to your Yt-Dlp as well if it's not in your path.

CommandBuilder

You can use the command builder to create commands programmatically, all options for YtDlp exist inside \Yt\Dlp\Options (if I'm missing anything please open an issue)

You can create a new CommandBuilder with your YtDlp instance

$command = $yt->newCommand($url)->addOption(Options::SKIP_DOWNLOAD)->addOption(Options::DUMP_JSON);

You can then use the execute method to execute. With the then method following that you can check the handle a success/failed command execution

$command->execute()->then(function (string $result) {
    echo $result;
}, function (CommandExecutionFailed $e) {
    echo (string)$e;
});

Already implemented commands

public function downloadVideo(string $url, string $outputPath, string $customName, string $format = "mp4"): PromiseInterface;
public function downloadAudio(string $url, string $outputPath, string $customName, string $format = "mp3"): PromiseInterface;

returns the full path of where the audio/video was downloaded

public function getInfo(string $url): PromiseInterface

returns an stdClass with the video info Available Fields

public function search(string $query, int $results = 1): PromiseInterface

Returns an array of all the results, each item has a structure similar to the getInfo method

Basic Usage

This code will download the first videos from the query

<?php

use React\EventLoop\Loop;
use Yt\Dlp\Exceptions\CommandExecutionFailed;
use Yt\Dlp\YtDlp;

require_once "vendor/autoload.php";

$yt = new YtDlp();

$errHandler = function (CommandExecutionFailed $e) {
    echo (string)$e;
};

$query = "amalee the worlds continuation";

$yt->search($query, 5)->then(function ($results) use ($yt, $errHandler) {
    foreach ($results as $video) {
        $id = $video->id;

        $yt->downloadVideo($id, __DIR__, $id)->then(null, $errHandler);
    }
});

Loop::get()->run();
