YoutubeExplode is a library designed to interface with YouTube for querying metadata of videos, playlists, and channels, as well as resolving and downloading video streams and closed caption tracks. It functions by scraping raw page data and utilizing reverse-engineered internal endpoints, offering capabilities such as video metadata retrieval and stream downloading through its `YoutubeClient` class. Notable features include easy integration with .NET via NuGet and an extension package for video conversion using FFmpeg.
