It's not easy to understand what you want without any further details.
Which videos? from what site?
Downloading from YouTube is not the same as downloading from U demy.
Why do you need to click on an external button for downloading?
If you have a downloadable link then it will download it, am I missing something?
You can use libraries like pyautogui, to attach a process and click whatever button you like
which I assume that can help you solve the clicking on that "external button".
By IDM, do you mean the chrome IDM? or a 3rd party IDM (extension or whatever)? or do you want to build that IDM by yourself?
I'm confused.
If it's Chrome IDM (I don't know any API they have for that), or any other app, then read the docs?
If you want to make it on your own, then I guess you should implement that API and you surely know "how to play with that" ( make no sense I know.. )
When you ask questions, and you said you tried stuff, it's really helpful if you share what you tried,
try it and more people will likely help you.
