Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I'm currently writing a basic script that instead of writing all youtube ids to one single file i can select the category (documentary, python course, etc.) and it'll add the ids to that specific file. In which it'll help organize it a bit, is there any way (inside or outside of youtube-dl) to view the titles for each id? As I have to convert my archive file that i have now, and I'd rather check now instead of wasting my time doing it manually if there's something out there! thanks!

youtube-dl can easily extract the title based on a YouTube id:

youtube-dl 1roy4o4tqQM --get-title

The only drawback is, that it is not so fast.
