Usage

```rust,ignore use rustyytdl::info::download; use rustyytdl::structs::DownloadOptions;

[tokio::main]

async fn main() { let videourl = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ8BxMU3BYc"; // FZ8BxMU3BYc works too! let videobuffer: Vec = download(video_url,None, DownloadOptions::default()).await.unwrap();

// Do what you want whit video buffer vector println!("{:#?}",video_buffer); } ```

or get only video informations

```rust,ignore use rustyytdl::info::getinfo; use rustyytdl::utils::chooseformat; use rusty_ytdl::structs::VideoOptions;

[tokio::main]

async fn main() { let videourl = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ8BxMU3BYc"; // FZ8BxMU3BYc works too! let videoinfo = getinfo(videourl,None).await; // Also works with live videos!!

println!("{:#?}",videoinfo); /* VideoInfo { ... videodetails: VideoDetails, formats: Vec, related_videos: Vec } */

let videooptions = VideoOptions::default(); let format = chooseformat(&videoinfo.unwrap().formats,&videooptions);

// Get a format by VideoOptions filter parameter println!("{:#?}",format); } ```
