from pytubefix.cli import on_progress
 
url = "url"

pl = Playlist(url)

for video in pl.videos:
    ys = video.streams.get_audio_only()
    ys.download()

from pytubefix import YouTube
from pytubefix.cli import on_progress
 
url = "url"

yt = YouTube(url, use_oauth=True, allow_oauth_cache=True, on_progress_callback = on_progress)
           
ys = yt.streams.get_highest_resolution()

ys.download() # you will only get the request to authenticate once you download

if you want to download a video to a specific directory:


from pytubefix import YouTube
from pytubefix.cli import on_progress
