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 user’s 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())

Get live Twitch and StoryFire follower counts

Like Twitter, Twitch and StoryFire functionality is also limited to retrieving follower counts. You could compare the follower counts of a user’s multiple platforms, whether that be Twitch and Twitter…:

from socialblade import TwitterUser, TwitchUser


user = 'michaelreeves'

reeves_twitter = TwitterUser(user)
reeves_twitch = TwitchUser(user)

twitter_followers = reeves_twitter.get_follower_count()
twitch_followers = reeves_twitch.get_follower_count()

if twitter_followers > twitch_followers:
    print(f"{user} has {twitter_followers - twitch_followers} more followers on Twitch than on Twitter.")
else:
    print(f"{user} has {twitch_followers - twitter_followers} more followers on Twitter than on Twitch.")

…or StoryFire and YouTube:

from socialblade import YouTubeChannel, StoryFireUser


rgt_youtube = YouTubeChannel('UCA5RGaQc-a8tIX_AqTTmWdw')
rgt_storyfire = StoryFireUser('1fozx1kcs0tuj3')

for sf_subscribers in rgt_storyfire.live_subscriber_count_generator():
    for yt_subscribers in rgt_youtube.live_subscriber_count_generator():
        print(f"{yt_subscribers} on YouTube vs {sf_subscribers} on StoryFire.")
