[SOLVED] How to download a youtube video through pytube python module

Issue

Here is the code:

>>> from pytube import YouTube
>>> v=YouTube('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl2OyaZVU3U')
>>> v.title
'Maroon 5 - Memories (Lyrics)'
>>> v.streams
<pytube.query.StreamQuery object at 0x7f76859e3a20>
>>> v.download()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#9>", line 1, in <module>
    v.download()
AttributeError: 'YouTube' object has no attribute 'download'

How can I solve this problem?

Solution

There is an exemple on the library documentation where it uses the streams member of the object in order to download.

In your code that would be :

>>> v.streams.first().download()

See also the API doc.
