This telegram bot streamlines the retrieval and management of YouTube videos. It simplifies the process by allowing users to send the video URL to the bot, which then promptly responds with the YouTube video itself, its download URL, or both, as per user preference.
The bot comprises three primary modules:
- This component, built using Node.js and leveraging the "node-telegram-bot-api" module, serves as the interface for user interaction.
- Upon receipt of a video link, the Telegram Bot module validates it and enqueues the link for processing. This queuing mechanism ensures uninterrupted service by preventing blockages from concurrent requests.
- Upon completion of video processing, the module publishes an event that triggers the transmission of the video file back to the user.
- Notably, for video files exceeding 50 MB in size, direct transmission via Telegram is prohibited. In such cases, users are provided with a download link to access the video content.
- This essential module is responsible for downloading YouTube videos. Operating in tandem with the queuing system, it retrieves video URLs from the queue and initiates download processes sequentially.
- The download worker's scalability is adjustable to accommodate varying request volumes. Multiple workers can be deployed as needed to handle increased demand efficiently.
- Upon successful completion of a download, the module logs relevant metadata into a SQL database and triggers an event to inform the bot module.
- Facilitating internet-based access to video files, the file server employs ngrok for seamless file delivery.
- Incoming requests are processed by the server, which verifies the video ID from URL parameters in the database. Upon validation, the corresponding video file is dispatched to the user for downloading.
To utilize our Telegram bot, follow these simple steps:
1. Open Telegram and search for "@youtube_downloader_19_bot".
2. Send "video <YouTube video link>" to download the video.
