Python YouTube

A Python wrapper around for YouTube Data API V3.

THANKS

Inspired by Python-Twitter.

Thanks a lot for Python-Twitter Developers.

Introduction

Library provides an easy way to use YouTube Data API V3.

Documentation

You can view the latest python-youtube documentation at: https://python-youtube.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.

Also view the full YouTube DATA API docs at: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/.

Installing

You can install this lib from `pypi`:

$pip install --upgrade python-youtube
✨🍰✨

Using

The API is exposed via the pyyoutube.Api class.

INSTANTIATE

There provide two method to create instance the pyyoutube.Api.

You can just initialize with an api key:

In [1]: from pyyoutube import Api
In [2]: api = Api(api_key='your api key')

If you want to get some authorization data. you need to initialize with an access token:

In [1]: from pyyoutube import Api
In [2]: api = Api(api_key='your api key')

You can read the docs to see how to get an access token.

Now you can use the instance to get data from YouTube.

CHANNEL DATA

The library provides several ways to get channel's data.

If a channel is not found, the property items will return with blank list.

You can use channel id:

In [3]: channel_by_id = api.get_channel_info(channel_id="UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw")
In [4]: channel_by_id.items
Out[4]: [Channel(kind='youtube#channel', id='UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw')]
In [6]: channel_by_id.items[0].to_dict()
Out[6]:
{'kind': 'youtube#channel',
 'etag': '"j6xRRd8dTPVVptg711_CSPADRfg/AW8QEqbNRoIJv9KuzCIg0CG6aJA"',
 'id': 'UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw',
 'snippet': {'title': 'Google Developers',

You can pass a channel id with comma-separated id string or a list, tuple or set of ids to get multiple channels. Many methods also provide this functionality.

with ids:

In [9]: channel_by_ids = api.get_channel_info(channel_id="UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw,UCa-vrCLQHviTOVnEKDOdetQ")

In [7]: channel_by_name = api.get_channel_info(channel_name="GoogleDevelopers")
In [8]: channel_by_name.items[0]
Out[8]: Channel(kind='youtube#channel', id='UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw')

If you have authorized, you can get your channels:
