Can I download YouTube videos via the official Youtube API?

I only want to download my uploaded videos. But I don't see anything in the youtube API documentation saying this.

Can I do it?

Not officially because there is nothing in the API reference.

BUT:



There's a script for the chrome extension Tampermonkey called YouTube Center that adds a download button to any YouTube video when activated. I think it is possible through an html5 player that has unencrypted (?) Mp4 input files. So when YouTube Hub can do it, there must be a way.
But I have no idea how to get there (And since the script has about 25k lines, I really don't want to know how they do it) :)

So, if you really need to, you can use this unofficial path, but it only allows 720p and not the original file that was downloaded.
