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.

Recently, we are working on the new structure for the library. Read docs to get more detail.



Documentation
You can view the latest python-youtube documentation at: https://sns-sdks.github.io/python-youtube/.
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
Now, the library covers all resource methods, including insert,``update`` and so on.
Currently, we recommend using pyyoutube.Client to operate DATA API. It has more features.

Work with Client
You can just initialize with an api key:
>>> from pyyoutube import Client
>>> client = Client(api_key="your api key")
If you want to get some authorization data. you need to initialize with an access token:
>>> from pyyoutube import Client
>>> client = Client(access_token='your access token')
You can read the docs to see how to get an access token.
Or you can ask for user to do oauth flow:
>>> from pyyoutube import Client
>>> client = Client(client_id="client key", client_secret="client secret")

>>> client.get_authorize_url()
('https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?response_type=code&client_id=id&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2F&scope=scope&state=PyYouTube&access_type=offline&prompt=select_account', 'PyYouTube')

>>> client.generate_access_token(authorization_response="link for response")
AccessToken(access_token='token', expires_in=3599, token_type='Bearer')
Now you can use the instance to get data from YouTube.
Get channel detail:

>>> cli.channels.list(channel_id="UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw")
ChannelListResponse(kind='youtube#channelListResponse')
>>> cli.channels.list(channel_id="UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw", return_json=True)
{'kind': 'youtube#channelListResponse',
'etag': 'eHSYpB_FqHX8vJiGi_sLCu0jkmE',
...
}

Work with API

We still support the old way for the sake of compatibility with older users.

You can just initialize with an api key:
>>> from pyyoutube import Api
>>> api = Api(api_key="your api key")
If you want to get some authorization data. you need to initialize with an access token:
>>> from pyyoutube import Api
>>> api = Api(access_token='your access token')
You can read the docs to see how to get an access token.
Or you can ask for user to do oauth flow:
>>> from pyyoutube import Api
>>> api = Api(client_id="client key", client_secret="client secret")
# Get authorization url
>>> api.get_authorization_url()
('https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?response_type=code&client_id=id&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2F&scope=scope&state=PyYouTube&access_type=offline&prompt=select_account', 'PyYouTube')
# user to do
# copy the response url
>>> api.generate_access_token(authorization_response="link for response")
AccessToken(access_token='token', expires_in=3599, token_type='Bearer')
Now you can use the instance to get data from YouTube.
Get channel detail:
>>> channel_by_id = api.get_channel_info(channel_id="UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw")
>>> channel_by_id.items
[Channel(kind='youtube#channel', id='UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw')]
>>> channel_by_id.items[0].to_dict()
