Telegram bot for converting YouTube videos to mp3

Heavily inspired by @AudioTubeBot but free and opensource

Features:

• Parses YouTube links and converts them to .mp3 files
• Stores already uploaded file ids to prevent re-converting of same video
• Animation for downloading stage
• Interface for reordering audios
• Playlists

TODO:

• Web interface for Telegram authentication and automatic session storage in DB
• Ability to download entire YouTube playlists
• Optional use of spare account
• Optional fallback to SQLite

Tested on Heroku with nodejs, python and ffmpeg buildpacks

Dependencies:

• nodejs
