tubeup VS yt-dlc

If you want to provide an option to upload artifacts to the Internet Archive, you could crib off of https://github.com/bibanon/tubeup

ArchiveTeam recommends the use of TubeUp.py, which acts as a wrapper for yt-dl to use for comprehensive archival, in addition to automatically uploading the content to the Internet Archive.

What I do is use a tool called tubeup. It will download a YouTube link you give it and automatically upload it to archive.org. It can take single videos or even whole playlists. That way, if it gets removed from YouTube, I know where to find it again, and I don't have to manage local copies or use up own cloud storage.

This can automate a LOT of the manual work: https://github.com/bibanon/tubeup

You could pass a playlist of your liked videos to https://github.com/bibanon/tubeup

I have tried the tubeup project but I spent most of the day trying to make that work but to no avail (I am working on macos Big Sur). I have also seen this post from what seems to be one of the staff, but it seems like a very long and complicated process to take just to archive YouTube videos.

youtube-dlc is a fork of youtube-dl with the intention of getting features tested by the community merged in the tool faster

We love yt-dlp which is a youtube-dl fork based on the now inactive youtube-dlc. The main focus of the project is adding new features and patches while also keeping up to date with the original project.

yt-dlc

Not who you responded to, but I use youtube-dlc. It's a command-line based utility with a ton of options for downloading YouTube videos.
