It acts as a bridge allowing JavaScript code to run for video extraction from sites using JavaScript-based protection or obfuscation. The package supports multiple JavaScript runtimes\u2014Deno, Bun, and Node.js\u2014so users can choose whichever is available on their system.\n\nThe package is distributed as a pure Python wheel with bundled JavaScript components (meriyah and astring). Installation is straightforward and requires no additional Python dependencies at runtime. It supports Python 3.10 through 3.14 and is actively maintained with recent updates.","worth_installing":"Yes. If you use yt-dlp and encounter sites requiring JavaScript execution for video extraction, this plugin is a straightforward addition with low install friction, active maintenance, permissive licensing, and no known vulnerabilities."},"id":"yt-dlp-ejs","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/yt-dlp-ejs","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/yt-dlp-ejs.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/yt-dlp-ejs/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-17","license_spdx":"Unlicense AND MIT AND ISC","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"yt-dlp-ejs","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"External JavaScript for yt-dlp supporting many runtimes"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2540822,"position":3012,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.8.0"}
