A yt-dlp plugin that allows you to use cookies via your CookieCloud server like using a cookie file.
Download repo then see installing yt-dlp plugins for how to install plugin package.
Caution
Be aware that CookieCloud took a cryptographically WEAK design for simplicity.
You should ONLY use it with a secured self-hosted server. Use of public relay server can expose you to risk of account compromise or other means of attacks.
To use this plugin, configure CookieCloud URL and credential via COOKIE_CLOUD_URL environmental variable then simply pass cookiecloud as the filename to --cookies.
Assuming your server url is https://cookiecloud.your-server.com/some-secret-path, uuid is abc, key is 123, pack them into a single string like https://abc:123@cookiecloud.your-server.com/some-secret-path
For Windows CMD
set COOKIE_CLOUD_URL=https://<uuid>:<key>@server.com
yt-dlp --cookies cookiecloud <url>For Linux bash
COOKIE_CLOUD_URL=https://<uuid>:<key>@server.com yt-dlp --cookies cookiecloud <url>To skip saving or loading, you can use cookiecloud-nosave or cookiecloud-noload instead of cookiecloud
