A python library which provides all possible metadata of YouTube videos.
Project description
A python library which provides metadata of YouTube videos.
Prerequisites
Get the youtube data v3 api key from https://console.developers.google.com/apis/
Set environment variable API_KEY=’Your YoutubeDatav3 API key’
Installation
- for stable version
pip install pyytdata
- for developement
git clone https://github.com/Agent-Hellboy/YouTubeDataApi_Wrapper/
cd YouTubeDataApi_Wrapper
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
Using
Maybe the first step toward moving the package from a Toy package to a usable package.
An API which will take the URL of youtube video and provide metadata of the video and the channel which has uploaded that video .
>>> from pyytdata import vid_info
>>> l=vid_info('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fqHuIqkOak')
>>> l.get_title()
'Manoj Bajpayee Vs. Atul Khatri | Epic Middle class Face-off | The Family Man | Amazon Prime Video'
l is a VidInfo object
>>> from pyytdata import PyYtData
>>> obj=PyYtData('flask',1)
>>> vid=obj.get_videoinfo()
>>> vid
<generator object PyYtData.get_videoinfo at 0x7fb0f69f8040>
#Since get_videoinfo returns a generator, you can either iterate or get the next() item.
#You can fire dir on this object to get the attribute and method of the object.
>>> dir(next(vid))

General Info
Under Developement
I think the package has implemented the facade pattern as the lower level packages like videoinfo and chnlinfo are independent from pyytdata and is not exposed to client and also the interaction between querier and videoinfo is hidden from client by providing a interface/module pyytdata
vidoinfo class and Chnlinfo has composition relationship as video does not exists without a channel
