Django app for managing a searchable index of Youtube videos
Project description
# ytindex
ytindex is a Django app for managing a searchable index of Youtube videos and their captions. The app relies on Elasticsearch for the indexing and searching. The app has no admin, no models and only provides one restful endpoint for making queries.
To use
Install Elasticsearch
pip install django-ytindex
Add “ytindex” to your INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = [ ... 'ytindex', ]
Include the ytindex URLconf in your project urls.py:
path('yti/', include('ytindex.urls')),
Define the channel id of the Youtube channel you want to index and the Elasticsearch config you want to use:
YTCI_SETTINGS = { 'default':'jrei', 'jrei': { 'channel_id': 'UCzQUP1qoWDoEbmsQxvdjxgQ', 'elastic': { 'index': 'jre-index', 'dtype': 'jrei-episode', 'es_host': 'localhost:9200' } } }
Run:
./manage index_latest [index name eg. jrei]
to index the latest videos on the channel
Run the dev server and visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/yti/jrei/elk to search the index.
