# NewLeaf

My fork of [NewLeaf][newleaf] by [Cadence Ember](https://cadence.moe/).

## Changes

- Can extract playlist data, including continuations
- Better channel data extract with tabs, playlists, and shorts
- Better comment data extracting, including continuations
- Short view count matches Invidious

## Installation

Build [protodec](https://github.com/iv-org/protodec) to a binary and place it in `tools/protodec`.

 

Yes I know `tools/fetch-with-node` is extremely cursed. At some point I want to rewrite all of this...

NewLeaf is a YouTube data extractor, compatible with the Invidious API.

NewLeaf has no frontend. It is intended to be used in combination with
a frontend like [CloudTube](https://git.sr.ht/~cadence/cloudtube).

NewLeaf uses [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) to assist with
data extraction, but also does some extraction itself.
