## Features
- Download audio, video, or combined audio+video from YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud, Vimeo, and hundreds more

- DRM fallback: automatically searches YouTube when Spotify/DRM-protected content is detected
- Thumbnail preview with metadata (title, uploader, duration) before download
- Audio-only sites (Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube Music, etc.) auto-detect and skip to audio quality selection
- Multi-step format selection: type picker (Video/Audio/Ask), quality, secondary format (video+audio combine), language
- Auto-select: skip all pickers when both media type AND quality are set in preferences (quality "Ask" shows a filtered picker)
- Audio remuxed to m4a (Telegram-friendly), video remuxed to mp4
- Download progress updates (with speed and ETA)
- Cancel downloads at any time (terminates yt-dlp process)
- Per-user quota system (daily, weekly, monthly; 0 = unlimited)
- User preferences (default media type, audio/video quality with "Ask" option, language)
- Download history with pagination
- Configurable file size limit (default 50 MB)
- Cookies support for age-restricted and authenticated content
- Proxy support via HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY env vars
- Webhook and polling modes
- SQLite database for persistence
- yt-dlp plugin support — `hanime-plugin` bundled in Docker image
## Commands
- `/start` - Show main menu
- `/download` - Prompt for a download URL
- `/settings` - Open settings
- `/help` - Show help text
- `/history` - View download history
You can also send a URL directly to start downloading immediately.
## Configuration
Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and configure:
| Variable | Default | Description |
| ------------------- | ------------------ | -------------------------------- |
| `BOT_TOKEN` | (required) | Telegram Bot API token |
| `HTTP_PROXY` | empty | Outbound HTTP proxy |
| `HTTPS_PROXY` | empty | Outbound HTTPS proxy |
| `DB_PATH` | `data/uptodown.db` | SQLite database path |
| `DOWNLOAD_DIR` | `/tmp/uptodown` | Temporary download directory |
| `MAX_FILE_SIZE_MB` | `50` | Maximum upload file size in MB |
| `COOKIES_FILE` | empty | Path to cookies.txt for auth |
| `TZ` | `UTC` | Timezone |
| `BOT_ALLOWED_USERS` | empty | Comma-separated allowed user IDs |
| `BOT_WEBHOOK_URL` | empty | Webhook URL (omit for polling) |
| `BOT_LISTEN` | `:8080` | Webhook listen address |
| `BOT_TLS_CERT` | empty | TLS certificate path |
| `BOT_TLS_KEY` | empty | TLS key path |
### Cookies (for age-restricted and authenticated content)
Some sites (YouTube, Spotify, etc.) require cookies for age-restricted content. To set up:
1. Install a browser extension that exports cookies in Netscape format (e.g., "Get cookies.txt" for Chrome/Firefox).
2. Log into the site with a throwaway account.
3. Export cookies to a file named `cookies.txt` in the project root.
4. Set `COOKIES_FILE=/cookies.txt` in your `.env` file.
For Docker, the cookie file is automatically mounted from `./cookies.txt` (see `docker-compose.yml`).
## Running
### Polling mode (default)
```bash
cp .env.example .env
# edit .env with your BOT_TOKEN
make run-dev
```
### Webhook mode
```bash
export BOT_WEBHOOK_URL=https://your.domain.com/webhook
make run-dev
```
### Docker
```bash
make docker-run
```
The Docker image bundles the `hanime-plugin` and the Deno JS runtime for sites like
hanime.tv, hstream.moe, and hentaihaven.com. See [yt-dlp plugins](#yt-dlp-plugins) for details.
### Local (non-Docker)
If running outside Docker, the bot uses whatever yt-dlp is in your PATH.
Install plugins and a JS runtime as described below under [yt-dlp plugins](#yt-dlp-plugins).
## yt-dlp plugins
Some sites require yt-dlp plugins or a JavaScript runtime to work. The Docker image
bundles these automatically; for local installs you need to set them up manually.
### hanime-plugin
Adds support for hanime.tv, hstream.moe, hentaihaven.com and others.
```bash
pip install hanime-plugin
```
The plugin requires a JavaScript runtime. [Deno](https://deno.com) is recommended:
```bash
# Linux/macOS
curl -fsSL https://deno.land/install.sh | sh
# Add to your shell config:
export PATH="$HOME/.deno/bin:$PATH"
```
### Adding other plugins
yt-dlp plugins are Python packages installed via pip. Most work without
additional runtimes. Install any pip-installable yt-dlp plugin with:
```bash
pip install <plugin-name>
```
## Development
```bash
make build # build binary
make test # run tests
make fmt # format code
make vet # vet code
make check # fmt + vet
```
