ayt-api

An Asynchronous, Object oriented python library for the YouTube api

What makes ayt-api different?

The diffrence with this library and other libraries is that it uses asynchronous api calls and responces are formatted as object oriented data.

The library is also designed towards being used in discord bots, particularly ones using the discord.py library and forks of it

Usage

First of all to use this library, you will need an API key. To get one, see here for instructions

Basic video data fetching:

import asyncio
import ayt_api

api = ayt_api.AsyncYoutubeAPI("Your API Key")


async def video_example():
    video_data = await api.get_video_metadata("Video ID")
    print(video_data.id)
    print(video_data.channel_id)
    print(video_data.url)
    print(video_data.title)
    print(video_data.thumbnails.default.url)
    print(video_data.visibility)
    print(video_data.duration)
    print(video_data.view_count)
    print(video_data.like_count)
    print(video_data.embed_html)
    print(video_data.published_at)
    print(video_data.description)
    print(video_data.age_restricted)

loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(video_example())

Basic playlist data fetching:

import asyncio
import ayt_api

api = ayt_api.AsyncYoutubeAPI("Your API Key")


async def playlist_example():
    playlist_data = await api.get_playlist_metadata("Playlist ID")
    print(playlist_data.id)
    print(playlist_data.channel_id)
    print(playlist_data.url)
    print(playlist_data.title)
    print(playlist_data.thumbnails.default.url)
    print(playlist_data.visibility)
    print(playlist_data.published_at)
    print(playlist_data.description)
    print(playlist_data.embed_html)
    print(playlist_data.item_count)

loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(playlist_example())

Basic playlist video fetching:

import asyncio
import ayt_api

api = ayt_api.AsyncYoutubeAPI("Your API Key")


async def playlist_video_example():
    playlist_videos = await api.get_videos_from_playlist("Playlist ID")
    video_data = playlist_videos[0]
    print(video_data.id)
    print(video_data.channel_id)
    print(video_data.url)
    print(video_data.title)
    print(video_data.thumbnails.default.url)
    print(video_data.visibility)
    print(video_data.published_at)
    print(video_data.description)
    print(video_data.playlist_url)
    print(video_data.added_at)

loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(playlist_video_example())
