Paste Help

So I'm trying to make a program where you can paste the link of a youtube playlist and it copys all the individual video links from the playlist and pastes them into Cobalt Tools (if you don't know what that is, it is a program that lets you paste a youtube link into it and it turns it into a downloadable file all for free) and then pastes them all into a directory. How would I do this in JetBrains Rider?

At minimum They probably have an API to get playlist info

It won't be breaking YouTube's tos if u never agreed to it. By using youtube's official APIs you agree to their policies and tos. If you use scrapers then it should be fine Also, for the initial help request, u know foss tools for this already exist right?

that's not the point, it affects whether he can get help with it here we can't support anything that violates the TOS of other services, because that makes this server violate discord's TOS by extension

So if I write up my own TOS, saying "Discord users violate my tos" everyone would be banned on discord? :VRLCuteThink:

Not rly, its very arbitrary. And also, users are not bound to a tos if they never agreed to it (by law)

okay, then go about your business and if you get in trouble here then you can't say i didn't warn you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You must also comply with any applicable third-party terms of service when using the Discord app.
It's not applicable since you never agreed to them like i said
