Follow the instructions in this short article to get an API key.
To get a particular video using the videos' id:
- Create an instance of the YouTube API passing in the path to the downloaded client secret file:
from youtube import YouTube
client_secrets_file = '/home/lyle/Downloads/secrets.json'
youtube = YouTube(client_secrets_file)
youtube.authenticate()
- Use the video id to find the video:
video = youtube.find_video_by_id('rfscVS0vtbw')
- To find many videos using their id's:
ids = ['rfscVS0vtbw', 'TFa38ONq5PY']
videos = youtube.find_videos(ids)
- To find the most popular videos in a given region e.g Kenya, pass in the region code:
popular_kenyan_videos = youtube.find_most_popular_video_by_region('ke')
- To search for videos (this returns an iterator):
query = 'Python programming'
video_iterator = youtube.search_video('Python')
videos = next(video_iterator)
