NewLeaf

My fork of NewLeaf by Cadence Ember.

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 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...


Navigation (NewLeaf)

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.

NewLeaf uses yt-dlp to assist with data extraction, but also does some extraction itself.
