To create an instance of the pyyoutube.Api with two different methods. Use only api key or provide google client id and key. Now only for api key:

In [1]: from pyyoutube import Api
In [2]: api = Api(api_key='your api key')

To fetch one youtube channel’s data:

In [3]: res = api.get_channel_info(channel_name='GoogleDevelopers')

In [4]: res
Out[5]: Channel(id=UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw,kind=youtube#channel)

To fetch youtube channel’s playlists:

In [6]: res = api.get_playlist(channel_id='UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw')

In [7]: res
Out[7]:
([Playlist(id=PLOU2XLYxmsIJpufeMHncnQvFOe0K3MhVp,kind=youtube#playlist),
  Playlist(id=PLOU2XLYxmsIJXsH2htG1g0NUjHGq62Q7i,kind=youtube#playlist),
  Playlist(id=PLOU2XLYxmsIJJVnHWmd1qfr0Caq4VZCu4,kind=youtube#playlist),
  Playlist(id=PLOU2XLYxmsIKW-llcbcFdpR9RjCfYHZaV,kind=youtube#playlist),
  Playlist(id=PLOU2XLYxmsIIOSO0eWuj-6yQmdakarUzN,kind=youtube#playlist)],
 {'totalResults': 416, 'resultsPerPage': 5})

To fetch one playlist’s items:

In [8]: res = api.get_playlist_item(playlist_id='PLOU2XLYxmsIJpufeMHncnQvFOe0K3MhVp')

In [9]: res
Out[9]:
([PlaylistItem(id=UExPVTJYTFl4bXNJSnB1ZmVNSG5jblF2Rk9lMEszTWhWcC41NkI0NEY2RDEwNTU3Q0M2,kind=youtube#playlistItem),
  PlaylistItem(id=UExPVTJYTFl4bXNJSnB1ZmVNSG5jblF2Rk9lMEszTWhWcC4yODlGNEE0NkRGMEEzMEQy,kind=youtube#playlistItem),
  PlaylistItem(id=UExPVTJYTFl4bXNJSnB1ZmVNSG5jblF2Rk9lMEszTWhWcC4wMTcyMDhGQUE4NTIzM0Y5,kind=youtube#playlistItem),
  PlaylistItem(id=UExPVTJYTFl4bXNJSnB1ZmVNSG5jblF2Rk9lMEszTWhWcC41MjE1MkI0OTQ2QzJGNzNG,kind=youtube#playlistItem)],
 {'totalResults': 4, 'resultsPerPage': 5})

In [10]: res[0][1].snippet.resourceId
Out[10]: {'kind': 'youtube#video', 'videoId': 'cxABjSOa6RY'}

In [11]: res = api.get_video_info(video_id='cxABjSOa6RY')

In [12]: res

To fetch many youtube video’s data:

In [13]: res = api.get_videos_info(video_ids=['cxABjSOa6RY', '21BbGGGrq9s'])
