## The approach of youtube-dl
[youtube-dl](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl) is solving a similar problem with "extractors" that return data to the processing-chain of youtube-dl. They provide a base class that includes useful functions for common issues e.g. automatic testing, geo-bypassing, login/cookie/header management.
They can also chain extractors recursivly, like a extractor for mastodon videos, that gets the video from the post and returns the source of the video, that could be youtube, vimeo or anything else youtube-dl supports.
