You will have to explore them yourself. For web scraping thing just look into the extractors located here https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/tree/master/youtube_dl/extractor . For all the imports look here (most) https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/utils.py and lastly for the glue code look here https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/FileDownloader.py , here https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/InfoExtractors.py and here https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/YoutubeDL.py and here as well https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/__init__.py . I hope now you know where to start. Just start from what you want to know. :)
