+# AllTube library
+
+This library lets you extract a video URL from a webpage
+by providing a wrapper
+for [youtube-dl](https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/index.html).
+
+It is primarily used by [AllTube Download](https://github.com/Rudloff/alltube).
+
+You can install it with:
+
+```bash
+composer require rudloff/alltube-library
+```
+
+You can then use it in your PHP code:
+
+```php
+use Alltube\Library\Downloader;
+
+require_once __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';
+
+$downloader = new Downloader('/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl');
+$video = $downloader->getVideo('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ');
+$video->getUrl();
+```
+
+You can also have a look at
+this [example project](https://github.com/Rudloff/alltube-example-project).
