 9If you need to download a list of YouTube videos and don't want to download the
10actual YouTube list (which `yt-dlp` supports), you can use the following method.
11
12```js
13// Used to get list of raw URL's from YouTube's video tab'.
14// Copy them into videos.txt.
15document.querySelectorAll('#contents a.ytd-thumbnail.style-scope.ytd-thumbnail').forEach(el => console.log(el.href))
16```
17
18Download and install https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp.
19
20```sh
21# This will download all videos in videos.txt.
22yt-dlp --batch-file videos.txt -N `nproc` -f webm
23```
