I looked at the python's API overview: Developer's Guide: Python
But there is no reference to how to download a video. Does anyone know where can I get information regarding downloading?
YouTube Video Downloader API enables users to convert Video into MP4, MP3, M4A formats using one endpoint. Get various video qualities such as 144p, 360p, and 720p. Using this API you can download videos with or without audio.
In order to make a request to the API, you can use jQuery's getJSON() call to request the title from YouTube via AJAX. YouTube's v3 Data API provides 3 endpoints that can be used to get the title: Snippet Title - The video's title.
After creating your project, make sure the YouTube Data API is one of the services that your application is registered to use: Go to the API Console and select the project that you just registered. Visit the Enabled APIs page. In the list of APIs, make sure the status is ON for the YouTube Data API v3.
Downloading Youtube videos is against their Terms of Service, so their API's will not support that.
Page linked above refers to Youtube ToS that states:
You shall not download any Content unless you see a “download” or similar link displayed by YouTube on the Service for that Content.
