ydl_api_ng

ydl_api_ng is a robust Python-based API designed to simplify the process of downloading media from a multitude of online platforms by acting as a wrapper around the powerful youtube-dl and yt-dlp tools. It distinguishes itself by offering a user-friendly web interface, allowing users to easily queue and manage download tasks without needing direct command-line interaction. This makes it accessible to a broader audience, including those less familiar with terminal commands.

The core value proposition of ydl_api_ng lies in its ability to handle download operations in the background. This means that once a download is initiated, the web interface remains responsive, and users can queue additional tasks or navigate away without interrupting ongoing processes. The tool is highly configurable, supporting deployment via Docker for ease of setup and management, and allowing customization through environment variables. It's an excellent solution for anyone looking to create a personal or shared media downloading service with a web-based front-end and reliable background execution.
