Gobalt

cobalt.tools API API client GO library.

Usage

Get the package into your project

go get github.com/andresperezl/gobalt/v2

Then import it and use it in your file

import (
    "github.com/andresperezl/gobalt/v2"
)


func main() {
    // Point the client to the cobalt instance you want to use
    client := gobalt.NewClientWithAPI("http://localhost:9000")

    // Then simply get the media
    media, err := gobalt.Post(context.Background(),gobalt.PostParams{URL: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"})
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Then simply stream it to save it or to send it somewhere else
    stream, err := media.Stream(context.Background())
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    // You must close the stream once you are done
    defer stream.Close()

    file, err := os.OpenFile(media.Filename, os.O_WRONLY|os.O_CREATE, 0644)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Read and write into the file into EOF from the stream
    _, err = file.ReadFrom(stream)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
}

Private Instance is Required

Since the removal of the api.cobalt.tools public v7 API, a private hosted instance is required to use with this library.
