import requests

def download_video(youtube_url):
    url = 'https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/youtube_to_mp4'
    response = requests.post(url, json={'youtube_url': youtube_url})
    return response.json()

video_url = 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ'
download_link = download_video(video_url)
