gobalt

Gobalt provides a way to communicate with cobalt.tools using Go. To use it in your projects, simply run this command:

go get https://github.com/lostdusty/gobalt

Usage

First, make sure you call gobalt.CreateDefaultSettings() to create the Settings struct with default values, then set an url.

//Creates a Settings struct with default values, and save it to downloadMedia variable.
downloadMedia := gobalt.CreateDefaultSettings()

//Sets the URL, you MUST set one before downloading the media.
downloadMedia.Url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"

//After changing the url, Do() will make the necessary requests to cobalt to download your media
destination, err := gobalt.Do(downloadMedia)
if err != nil {
    //Handle errors here
}

//Prints out the url from cobalt to download the requested media.
fmt.Println(destination.URL)
//Output example: https://us4-co.wuk.sh/api/stream?t=wTn-71aaWAcV2RBejNFNV&e=1711777798864&h=fMtwwtW8AUmtTLB24DGjJJjrq1EJDBFaCDoDuZpX0pA&s=_YVZhz8fnzBBKKo7UZmGWOqfe4wWwH5P1azdgBqwf-I&i=6tGZqAXbW08_6KmAiLevZA

Features

Server info

You can query information about any cobalt server by using CobaltServerInfo(apiurl). This will return a ServerInfo struct with this info.

Example code:

server, err := gobalt.CobaltServerInfo(gobalt.CobaltApi)
if err != nil {
	 //Handle the error here
}
fmt.Printf("Downloading from %v!\n", server.URL)
//Output: Downloading from https://us4-co.wuk.sh/!

Use/Query other cobalt instances

Using GetCobaltInstances() fetches a community maintaned list of third-party cobalt instances ran by the community, except for *-co.wuk.sh, none of them are "official" cobalt instances. Use them if you can't download from the main instance for whatever reason.

Example:

cobalt, err := gobalt.GetCobaltInstances()
if err != nil { 
    //Handle errors here
}
fmt.Printf("Found %v online cobalt servers: ", len(cobalt))
for _, value := range cobalt {
	fmt.Printf("%v, ", value.URL)
}
/* Output: 
* Found 8 online cobalt servers: co.wuk.sh, cobalt-api.hyper.lol, cobalt.api.timelessnesses.me, api-dl.cgm.rs, cobalt.synzr.space, capi.oak.li, co.tskau.team, api.co.rooot.gay
