Get youtube video title on termux

Intro

The main reason of this tutorial is to share an akward experience I used to have on android and solve it. Sometimes when I share a video from youtube on twitter it only shares the url for the video. I wanted also get the title, so I wrote this script

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/bash

URL=$(termux-clipboard-get)

TITLE=$(youtube-dl --skip-download --get-title --no-warnings $URL | sed 2d | awk '{print tolower($0)}')

echo "$TITLE' '$URL"  | tee termux-clipboard-set

Setting pbcopy and pbpaste using termux

Open your termux and run

apt install termux-api neovim

Now on your termux edit your ~/.bashrc

alias pbcopy='termux-clipboard-get'
alias pbpaste='termux-clipboard-set'
