Using

The API is exposed via the pyyoutube.Api class.

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[4]: [Channel(id=UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw,kind=youtube#channel)]

To fetch youtube channel’s playlists:

In [5]: res = api.get_playlist(channel_id='UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw')

In [6]: res
Out[6]:
([Playlist(id=PLOU2XLYxmsILRdsoscDOuCp-6r3LgKtrv,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='PLOU2XLYxmsILRdsoscDOuCp-6r3LgKtrv')

In [9]: res
Out[9]:
([PlaylistItem(id=UExPVTJYTFl4bXNJTFJkc29zY0RPdUNwLTZyM0xnS3Rydi41NkI0NEY2RDEwNTU3Q0M2,kind=youtube#playlistItem),
  PlaylistItem(id=UExPVTJYTFl4bXNJTFJkc29zY0RPdUNwLTZyM0xnS3Rydi4yODlGNEE0NkRGMEEzMEQy,kind=youtube#playlistItem),
  PlaylistItem(id=UExPVTJYTFl4bXNJTFJkc29zY0RPdUNwLTZyM0xnS3Rydi4wMTcyMDhGQUE4NTIzM0Y5,kind=youtube#playlistItem),
  PlaylistItem(id=UExPVTJYTFl4bXNJTFJkc29zY0RPdUNwLTZyM0xnS3Rydi41MjE1MkI0OTQ2QzJGNzNG,kind=youtube#playlistItem),
  PlaylistItem(id=UExPVTJYTFl4bXNJTFJkc29zY0RPdUNwLTZyM0xnS3Rydi4wOTA3OTZBNzVEMTUzOTMy,kind=youtube#playlistItem)],
 {'totalResults': 13, 'resultsPerPage': 5})

In [10]: res[0][1].snippet.resourceId
Out[10]: ResourceId(videoId=pXoLrNNLPHc,kind=youtube#video)

To fetch one youtube video’s data:

In [12]: res = api.get_video_by_id(video_id='pXoLrNNLPHc')

In [13]: res
Out[13]: [Video(id=pXoLrNNLPHc,kind=youtube#video)]

To fetch many youtube video’s data:

In [14]: res = api.get_video_by_id(video_id='pXoLrNNLPHc,21BbGGGrq9s')

In [15]: res
Out[15]:
[Video(id=pXoLrNNLPHc,kind=youtube#video),
 Video(id=21BbGGGrq9s,kind=youtube#video)]

Fetch comment thread info. You can use multi different parameter. If you want to get the channel and the channel’s videos comment threads. You can provide target channel id with all_to_channel_id parameter. Like follows:

In [16]: resp = api.get_comment_threads(all_to_channel_id='UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw', count=4)

In [17]: resp
Out[17]:
[CommentTread(id=Ugw1xBqKuaHKPfZR38h4AaABAg,kind=youtube#commentThread),
 CommentTread(id=Ugz-p7OFo3PwLQ_K1TJ4AaABAg,kind=youtube#commentThread),
 CommentTread(id=Ugy3iS0auqxlIP6eqZh4AaABAg,kind=youtube#commentThread),
 CommentTread(id=UgyeUVq35jr01dmURqZ4AaABAg,kind=youtube#commentThread)]

If you want to just get a channel comment threads. use channel_id instead of all_to_channel_id. Like follows:

If you want to get a video comment threads. You can provide target video id with video_id. Like follows:

In [19]: resp = api.get_comment_threads(video_id='D-lhorsDlUQ', count=2)

In [20]: resp
Out[20]:
[CommentTread(id=UgydxWWoeA7F1OdqypJ4AaABAg,kind=youtube#commentThread),
 CommentTread(id=UgxKREWxIgDrw8w2e_Z4AaABAg,kind=youtube#commentThread)]

If you want get comment thread detail info. You can provide comment thread id or comma-separated id list. Like follows:

In [22]: resp
Out[22]:
[CommentTread(id=Ugz097FRhsQy5CVhAjp4AaABAg,kind=youtube#commentThread),

In [24]: resp
Out[24]: [Comment(id=UgwYjZXfNCUTKPq9CZp4AaABAg.8yxhlQJogG18yz_cXK9Kcj,kind=youtube#comment)]

If want get comment detail info. You can provide comment id or comma-separated id list. Like follows:

In [25]: resp = api.get_comment_info(comment_id='UgxKREWxIgDrw8w2e_Z4AaABAg,UgyrVQaFfEdvaSzstj14AaABAg')

In [26]: resp
Out[26]:
[Comment(id=UgxKREWxIgDrw8w2e_Z4AaABAg,kind=youtube#comment),
