YouTube-dl has a JavaScript interpreter written in 870 lines of Python
To understand why, I have a far simpler tool that focuses on a subset of sites (adult content video aggregators)
https://github.com/kristopolous/tube-get
It too deals with this problem but does so in a way that'd be easy to maliciously sabotage
Look right about here https://github.com/kristopolous/tube-get/blob/master/tube-ge...
Add to why this exists, this was originally written between about 2010-2015 or so so it technically predates the yt-* ecosystem.
The tool still works fine and it's not a strict subset of yt-dlp or YouTube-dl because being a different approach, although it's overall site coverage is smaller, I've had it be a "second try" system when yt-* fails and it comes up with success maybe about half the time

YouTube-dl has been taken down
I see. According to the Web Archive, this website stopped working all the way in November 2023, and http://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/ now contains all the same content as the old one and is the new "official" website.

YouTube-dl fork with additional features and fixes
See elsewhere in the thread for details, but youtube-dl was restored by Github and is generally not considered to be in violation of the DMCA. You can see it on Github here: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl
A copyright holder abused the DMCA process to take it down the first time.

Ask HN: What's the Situation with YouTube-Dl?
The best way is to download the source from github, run `make`, and copy the the file to $HOME/bin . There hasn't been a release for about a year now and the files on the distro repos are even older (I think).
Also YouTube has been doing some changes lately on the the player and a lot of the tools fail to download audio or video.
For example, in the last couple of weeks there have been some issues with a redirect to a 'consent page' : https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/32499
