  • tubearchivist

    Your self hosted YouTube media server

    I've been using TubeArchivist to mirror channels lately. The description and some of the metadata are saved within the TubeArchivist database. The video and optional subtitles get saved to disk.

  • youtube-comment-scraper

    Discontinued A web client that scrapes YouTube comments

    youtube-dl can't scrape comments if you're interested in those. I once used this, but it appears to be discarded and I doubt it works anymore. I've heard of people getting IP banned for scraping comments, so beware if you want to do that.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • python-certifi

    (Python Distribution) A carefully curated collection of Root Certificates for validating the trustworthiness of SSL certificates while verifying the identity of TLS hosts.

    certifi comes bundled the yt-dlp exe now so issues with certificates should be rare.
