DESCRIPTION¶

For each given argument youtube-playlists generates a list of YouTube video URLs. Arguments can be URL to playlist or to favorite list, or only IDs of a playlist or a favorite list.

In the spirit of the whole WWW::YouTube::Download distribution, playlist extraction relies solely on scraping common YouTube pages and requires no API key.

-n, --normalize

Print only normalized playlist IDs, but do not fetch anything. You can call it also dry run.

-p, --proxy

-u, --users

Parses given parameters as YouTube usernames and lists their uploaded videos.

--user-agent

Supply your own user agent string

--limit

Limit how many fetches the script is allowed to make while scraping playlist items.
