Python - streaming Youtube videos using GET

Question

Is it possible to use a HTTP GET request to stream YouTube videos?

I've looked at the Google YouTube API docs, it's not clear that this can be done. There are packages like pytube, but they are meant to be used directly, not by using HTTP requests.

Any info would be appreciated.

You'll have to reverse-engineer youtube's code in order to stream it by yourself, and it would not be necessarily possible to do with http only.
