socialblade 1.0.2

Object oriented SocialBlade API wrapper

Socialblade API wrapper.

Examples

Live YouTube subscriber count

Prints PewDiePie’s subscriber count in real time.

from socialblade import YouTubeChannel


pewdiepie_channel = YouTubeChannel('UC-lHJZR3Gqxm24_Vd_AJ5Yw')

for sub in pewdiepie_channel.live_subscriber_count_generator():
    print(sub)

You could also just get the subscriber count as it is at the time, like this:

from socialblade import YouTubeChannel


pewdiepie_channel = YouTubeChannel('UC-lHJZR3Gqxm24_Vd_AJ5Yw')

print(pewdiepie_channel.get_subscriber_count())

Export a Channel’s Most Viewed Videos Statistics to CSV

In this example we are exporting statistics about PewDiePie’s most viewed videos to CSV.

from socialblade import YouTubeChannel
import csv
from datetime import datetime
import locale


locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')


def create_more_readable_ints(integer):
    return locale.currency(integer, symbol=False, grouping=True).replace('.00', '').replace(',', "'")


pewdiepie_channel = YouTubeChannel('UC-lHJZR3Gqxm24_Vd_AJ5Yw')

writer = csv.writer(
    open(
        'PewDiePie Most Viewed Videos {}.csv'.format(str(datetime.now().date())),
        'w',
        newline='',
        encoding='utf-8'
    )
)
writer.writerow(
    ['Channel', 'Title', 'Created at', 'Views', 'Comments']
)
for video in pewdiepie_channel.get_most_viewed_videos():
    writer.writerow(
        [
            'PewDiePie',
            video.title,
            str(video.created_at),
            create_more_readable_ints(video.views_num),
            create_more_readable_ints(video.comments_num)
        ]
    )

You could do the same thing to any channel. You could also export different types of statistics about videos, which I will list the functions for them here:

• socialblade.YouTubeChannel(channel_id).get_latest_videos()

• socialblade.YouTubeChannel(channel_id).get_most_viewed_videos()

• socialblade.YouTubeChannel(channel_id).get_highest_rated_videos()

• socialblade.YouTubeChannel(channel_id).get_most_relevant_videos()

Get live Twitter follower count

The twitter functionality is limited in this wrapper to retrieving follower counts. You could get a twitter users live follower count similer to how you get a youtuber’s live follower count:

from socialblade import TwitterUser


donald_trump_twitter = TwitterUser('realdonaldtrump')

for follower in donald_trump_twitter.live_follower_count_generator(request_delay=500):
    print(follower)

You could also get the follower count as it is at the moment, like so:

from socialblade import TwitterUser


donald_trump_twitter = TwitterUser('realdonaldtrump')

print(donald_trump_twitter.get_follower_count())
