Why
Every time I wanted to download a video — from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, or wherever — I'd end up on some sketchy website full of ads, popups, and fake download buttons.
I just wanted something simple. Send a link, get the download. No ads, no extensions, no nonsense.
So I built a Telegram bot that does exactly that.
What It Does
You send the bot a video link. It sends you back the available download options — different qualities and formats. You pick one, and you get the download link.
That's it.
Supported Platforms
- YouTube
- TikTok
- X (Twitter)
- Vimeo
- Rumble
- VK
- OK.ru
- RaiPlay
And more — the bot uses a modular scraper system, so adding new platforms is just dropping in a new file.
How To Use It
The bot is live and free to test. Just open Telegram and message:
Send any video link — that's all you need to do.
What I Used
- Python
- Telegram Bot API
- A modular scraper system with per-platform extractors
- yt-dlp as the fallback engine for anything not covered by custom scrapers
The architecture is simple: each platform has its own scraper module. The bot detects the platform from the URL, loads the right scraper, extracts the download links, and sends them back.
What's Next
I'm working on:
- Adding more supported websites
- More download formats and quality options
