You'll have to write it in python and use youtube-dl as a python module. Note that since the python version in the App Engine is missing some standard library modules, you have to patch youtube-dl. If you don't want to start the project yourself, you can look into youtube-dl-api-server.

(By the way: I hope you saniteze $url, otherwise you are vulnerable to attacks)
