## DESCRIPTION

For each given argument **youtube-playlists** generates a list of YouTube video URLs. Arguments can be URL to playlist or to favorite list, or only IDs of a playlist or a favorite list.

In the spirit of the whole *WWW::YouTube::Download* distribution, playlist extraction relies solely on scraping common YouTube pages and requires no API key.

## OPTIONS

  Force disable colored output

- \-i, --video-id

  Print only video IDs, not full URLs

- \-n, --normalize

  Print only normalized playlist IDs, but do not fetch anything. You can call it also dry run.

- \-p, --proxy

  Use the given proxy. Note that using a socks proxy requires LWP::protocol::socks to be installed.

- \-u, --users

  Parses given parameters as YouTube usernames and lists their uploaded videos.

- \--user-agent

  Supply your own user agent string

- \--limit

  Limit how many fetches the script is allowed to make while scraping playlist items.

- \-v, --verbose

  turns on chatty output

- \-h, --help

  display help

- \-V, --version

  display version
