You can pass Facebook or Youtube video url to the download() function.
If video is downloaded successfully, this will return the path of the local video saved, otherwise will throw an exception.

Exception handling

Every function throws an Exception in case of any error/issue. Bind the code block within try-catch block to catch any exception occurred.

Ex:

try {
    $downloader->download(video_url);
} catch (Exception $exception) {
    echo $exception->getMessage();
}
