Get started

• Add the crate to your project

cargo add rusty_dl

• Use the crate in a synchronous environment

use rusty_dl::prelude::{Downloader, YoutubeDownloader, DownloadError};

const URL: &str = "my_yt_video_link";

fn main() -> Result<(), DownloadError>  {
    let downloader = YoutubeDownloader::new(URL);

    downloader.blocking_download()
}

• Use the crate in a tokio environment

use rusty_dl::prelude::{Downloader, YoutubeDownloader, DownloadError};

const URL: &str = "my_yt_video_link";

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), DownloadError> {
    let downloader = YoutubeDownloader::new(URL);

    downloader.download().await
}

This crate also exports a TwitterDownloader and a ResourceDownloader which work the same way as presented up there.
